Sit start. Throw to a left hand pinch on the arete, find the beautiful right hand undercling. Use high friction slopers or small crimps on the top. Worth doing just for the undercling.

Starting matched on a big watermelon sized cobble real low under the bulge, climb through crimps, cobbles through the steepest part of the boulder. The lip and headwall have good holds, but is still kinda tricky.

Start matched on large block, go right to a two finger pocket. Heel the block and cross to the big pocket. Move up the face to the left of Curious George

Many ways to start this problem. Moves through two pairs of crimps with an exciting pop to a large, course pocket on the lip. Sharp and fun.

Starts low on the arete right of Curious George. Moves up the bulge using the holds near the lip, including two baseball-sized cobbles. Staying lower on the lip makes it harder. Tops out to the right of Curious George.

Begin next to (right of) the ocotillo on south side of boulder adjacent to Monkey Skull. Perhaps calling this boulder the Monkey Butt would be logical...   Anyrate, Start on two good edges, then go up with left to a 2finger-pocket. Find another 2finger pocket for right hand and then up to yet another pocket.  Trend up and right thru knobs/cobbles to big ledge.  Down climb arete like feature at walkthrough next to Monkey Skull on NE side of boulder.

A little bit downhill from the Beast are two boulders with a little chimney between them. The left boulder has an obvious overhanging bulge, and from a distance looks like a monkey skull.
