A tall proud line on the north east side of the boulder. Start sitting on a good jug rail, and climb directly up the face using crimps and slopers, to an intimidating top out. The old supertopo guide says V3, but I thought this thing was very hard for the grade.

Paul's Problem

"5.10" Squeeze Chimney

Mushroom slab

Pauls Traverse

Start on the far left side of the East face of the Mushroom Cap and traverse right along the thin seam that leads into Pauls Problem.  Stop at the end of the crack for the V4 version or continue up to top out on Pauls Problem for the V6 version.

Head into the split in the boulder, past the telephone pole and locate the obvious squeeze chimney.

Figure out how to enter it and grunt your way to the top.

Awesome problem, after you top out you can stem back down the split and run laps on it without touching the ground. This thing is an awesome simulator for the steck-salathe "narrows" pitch entry moves.

Stand start on the face right of the arete and climb the slab to the top.  Many variations exist from staying near the left arete (hardest) to following the shallow cracks (easiest).
