A Thin, smeary start leads to bigger and better crimps as you get higher and higher.

Several variations and traverses can be done on this amazing slabby face.

If you like a sharp side pull crimp this is the climb for you

Start on a right hand very sharp side pull crimp and a left hand slopper.  Climb up to much nicer holds and exit straight up.  Book says this is the downclimb but I found it much easier to downclimb the V2 on the short side on the boulder.

A beautiful line you cant help but put your hands all over. When I first saw this thing, I knew I would be spending some time with Sheniqua.

Friction, Compression, and some foot work are key. Start with your left hand on a sloping side pull and your right hand on the arete.

The low start (Going Down On Sheniqua) is a much harder.

Low left jug, right hand sloper.  Slap up both until a very nice jug.  Fun compression climbing for the grade.

Lowering off this is probably the best downclimb for this boulder

This is the historically chipped line on the 420 boulder.

Start on the uphill side of the boulder with one or both hands on a slopping dish. paste your feet on and reach up to the chipped hold (notice how the problem would have FOR SURE gone without the hold.) continue up on amazing natural features to a mantle.

Separating out '420 moderate' which sort of covers 3 seperate climbs.

Start with your right hand on a side pull slopper and left on a very low undercling.  Set your feet and go up to a good left hand gaston and exit to the left of the boulder.  Try skipping what has been called the chipped pocket which I'm 99% sure is a natural feature but the problem is more fun without it.
