Start on the large shelf and reach up for one of the many pinches or jugs under the overhanging section of rock. Get your feet up on the shelf and then make your way up over the overhanging section and follow the side of the boulder to the top out.

WARNING: There is a rock face behind this climb, so be aware that if you fall, there is a chance you will hit the rock and slide down.

Start with both hands on a positive jugs half way through Calm Waters, find some feet that work for you, and then get your hands up on the lip. From there using some technical footwork and crimps, figure out how to come out from under the lip and get on to the upper slab portion for the top out.

There are a couple of options that work for the top out.

Option 1: Mantle

Option 2: Bat Hang / Mantle

The crux of this climb is that it traverses across the boulder low to the ground, which could prove more difficult for taller folks. If you have your back to the high rock face, Calm Waters starts on a decent left hand crimp and a smaller right hand crimp on the left side of the split boulder in front of you. Traverse right and pop up to a round sloper before the crack half way across the boulder. Mantle up for the top out, or use a left heel hook to rock up for the top out.

Start with a both hands on a quartz undercling under the hanging boulder and try to get a toe hook on the large quartz block. Get your left hand up on the lip and then make your way up the boulder from the most overhanging section for the top out.

WARNING: This climb is located on a steep hill, so be aware that you will have to figure out good pad placement and you will also need spotters on the hill below the climb to ensure the climber doesn't roll/slide down the hill.

Start on two crimps and get a left foo under the boulder on a small foot chip and the right foot will be a heel hook on the sloped edge to the right of the start. Traverse left around the corner until you reach the crack in the rock. Get your hand up to the lip above you and do everything you can to get onto the slab for the top out.

Start on the large undercling just right of the low chossy pocket. Find some good feet and move up right and then straight up for the top out.

NOTE: The small boulder piece to the right is OFF for hands / feet.

A fun one-mover to do as a warm-up before working on the other boulders in the area.

 Start on the quartz crimp at about stomach/chest level, pick some good feet, and then dyno to the horn (the highest section of the boulder).

Start on the two had sloper and then work your way up through crimps for the top out.

NOTE: The lip is OFF for hands, but the problem follows a line of crimps directly below it.

WARNING: This problem is located on a steep hill, so proper pad placement and a few spotters are crucial for safety.

Start two hands on the small lower pocket and then work your way through the next one. Then work out left and straight up for the top out.

NOTE: The first two pockets are chossy, so be aware that small pieces could break off. Most of the chossy parts have already been broken off, but more could break of in the future.

Start on the two sidepulls and figure out what feet work best for you. Continue right and up to the top out using the finger crack.

NOTE: The lower section of the boulder is OFF for feet, so when establishing the start, you will need to get your feet on part of the upper section of the boulder.

Good rock quality on both the Split Boulder and the high rock face directly behind it.
