Start underneath the obvious tall arete with a giant foot.  A few steep moves lead you into squeeze moves on the face.  An airy, easing and slightly insecure finish awaits.  A real beauty.

Chimney Sweep

Foggy Vision

From an edge and a sidepull just next to it, climb the face not using the crack or sidepull features right.  Very subtle movement on this one and not a give away.  The crux comes at the lip and pulling the bulge.

Sit start on the left facing jug and climb up interesting holds that are strangely worse than they appear.

Just right of Vanishing Point on the same wall.  Start sitting matched on an incut edge or using a pinch for the right hand.  Bust a long move to a good, slopey jug.  Gain more jugs, pull a long lock off and finish with an easing mantle.  The crack and wall right aren’t used.

This is an off the beaten path style problem for an off the beaten path area.

 Somehow wedge yourself down an into the bottom of the crevice behind Vision Quest, facing south. The route starts below a horizontal on a great shelf about 7 feet up. Trend up and right towards the apex of the chimney on good feet the whole way. When the feet run out at the tip, do a pullup mantle to finish.

 Definitely not a conventional style but fun if you get into it. Can be one star or three depending on what you like

From a sit in the cave with a blocky fin, compress out the roof to a tricky lip encounter and finish up the easing arete.

If solitude and rare ascents motivate you the south bluff should be where you are spending your weekends at the lake. Since the south bluff has no existing trails(technically) primitive hiking skills should be utilized to minimize impact. the chode is one of the many off the radar bouldering areas uncovered by a few devoted local climbers. the chode is the eastern most of these and offers,hands down, the best slab problem in the park. the obvious lines have been done, but at the most only 10 people have ever even seen the area!! the chode offers some huge unclimbed cave routes as well as the developed slab on the chode as well as some great short steep problems on the east facing walls. In addition to the chode is thye boomtown area which like the chode has seen maybe 10 people ever9besides hunters). So get off your butts and start sending this stuff!!!
