Easier and slightly less fun brother of Hat's Off.  Start on two crimps on the left side of the boulder with your feet on the low block.  Move up and slightly right using 1-2 finger crimp and some better holds.  Finish up on the arete/face.  Top out can be a bit perplexing.

The stand start to the Pedestal problem.  Climb the nose to the tricky topout.

Stand start with hands matched on shelf.  Dyno straight up to the lip, top out. Fun!

Stand start to the easy face on the back side of the boulder.  Can be done many different ways.

Start sitting at left end of the Die Hard traverse. Using jugs to start, pull up and climb the left side of the face.

Start with hands matched on a sloper.  Most throw a heel up before traversing left, aiming for the jug.  Finish up as for the Pedestal.  The first few moves are awesome but quite tough, just another great moderate at the sit down area.

  Might be V5, might be V6.  Either way, it feels a lot harder than Pedestal so whatever you think that is, add a half/full grade.

Start as for Die Harder on jug with feet way under the boulder, traverse right as for Die Harder but at the Pedestal crimps finish up The Pedestal problem rather than continuing right as for Die Harder. Good linkup problem.

Start sitting at obvious prow and traverse low (easier if you go high) and to the left.  Move up at crack and top out.  Somewhat dabby but fun.  Also know as Butt Bouncer, as this is what can happen if fall off.

Sit start with left hand on crystal-y edge and right hand on sloping arete; good feet right below you left or right, pull on and make one hard move up to the jug edge, match it, get your feet up and then rock up and onto the big shelf to topout, using a right hand undercling on the right arete if needed.

Start standing just right of the jutting prow and climb up the steep slab.  Probably has been done from a sit start, but seems pretty awkward from down low.

Sit start in the center of the face, pull off the ground into a positive horizontal and then climb up easy slab.  Basically the sit start to Easy Jams.

Stand start under the small roof in between Big Pull and Pedestrian, using crimps in the roof. Pull on and climb straight up above the roof to topout straight up. 

Start sitting under the at obvious prow facing the road climb up and onto the slab. Harder if you don't use  the pedestal rock underneath.  Also used as the downclimb off the boulder.

Start on jug 8 feet left of starting holds for Pedestal.  Traverse right and low to the start of Pedestal, then continue right as for Die Hard.  Pumpy.

Start on the two crimps of the Pedestal and climb right, staying low, through the holds of Hat's Off to the start and then climb up and topout.

Start sitting with hands on the starting holds of The Pedestal crimps and feet on the pedestal block.  Climb up staying left of the arête using a cool sloper just left of the arête for your right hand, small crimps on the face for your hands, and a big sloping foothold to the left.

Across the paved road from the big Split Boulder, past a clump of boulders (the Beehive) is an obvious lone rock perched off the ground on smaller stones, The Pedestal.
