This problem starts on the back of the "Luminary Boulder" and also starts as per "Luminary."  Instead of stopping at the left side of the back face, continue all the way around the boulder, following the obvious hand crack back to the start.  The crux is the low, steeper portion of the boulder which is totally safe with a moving pad/spotter.

Key To The Castle

Sit start at the very tip (the downhill tip) of Luminary. Left hand on higher sidepull crimp, right hand on a small chunk on the side. get a right toe underneath and a high left heel hook. blast hard up to a high rail. work up to the small roof and either jump down or continue up to the lofty top. 

  Can (and should) be climbed into "Celestial Arete" which runs above it...

Stand start on the side of boulder with roof. Start at right side of roof at slab at the left ascending ramp feature. slab up through tricky moves to the long crack. traverse crack around sharp corner, and follow across next face to the far left side to walk up to the top.

While not consistently, I had tried this one off and on for almost four years. 

  Illuminati is the Luminary Boulder, and the Luminary Area test piece for proud, steep crimps on a beautiful piece of stone. 

  On the right side of the main face of the Luminary Boulder, look under the largest portion of the steep underbelly for two crimp rails just above a baseball-sized dropstone. 

  The left starting crimp is in-cut and positive on it's right side. The right hand crimp is thinner, long and rounded. 

  Post up on bad feet and make a difficult move up to another in-cut, and then left to a smaller flake edge. 

  Lock off to a high edge and blast upward to a flat undercling within the cap. 

  Negotiate two or three higher moves to top out.

on the uphill-most nose of the boulder under the steepness to the left of the low detached block. Find the right hand crimp on the low prow and the thin left adjacent crimp. Use these holds to pick up and campus/throw big up to the slopey lip. Find better holds and traverse the lip left to the obvious end flat jug/lip before the break. Top out.

Stand start on side of Luminary opposite of the roof. Start midface at the start of the subtle overhang. look for long juggish rail for a start. also look and see that you will top out at the highest point of the boulder on the top cap. start at jug or lip and follow trail of knobs to the top out.

Start on the lower left corner of the boulder (slab side). A few funky moves gets you off the deck and established in the crack.  Follow the crack using hand jams and foot nubbins traversing up and right all the way to the other side of the boulder.

This problem climbs the left arete of the front face of the Luminary Block.  Start on the left side of the boulder and follow the easiest path to reach the arete.  Follow knobs and a smeary crux to easier climbing following the arete to the top.

Stand start on opposite side of boulder as big roof. Start on left side of face at small knobs and follow trail on knobs to the lofty top out.

Probably over 20ft of climbing but the steep face into the lip encounter (at 10ft) encompass the grade, the rest of the climb has sweet, sweet low grade knobs and slab walking. 

  On the main side of the boulder (with Welcome Home and Dances With Wolves) find the left facing crescent feature. 

  Sit start to the low and right of the crescent feature on the nice, long, flat rail. Toss up to pinch the feature (note the thumb catch) and negotiate the crescent rail to the top incut hold. Toss to the sloper lip and push over the lip. Ride the sea of glorious slab knobs to the top.

The Luminary Boulder is one of the best in the park. Big and bold, this one doest disappoint.
