Start with the LH in the slopey undercling and RH on the bad sloper below the good rail used in Polish Traverse and Brooklyn. Climb direct; golf ball is off.Despite almost always being executed as a sit start, it has historically been called "Stand" to distinguish it from the V10 variation, which starts matched on the undercling.Very powerful -- guidebook says of the V10, "climb up using slopers and strength." Great moves, very right arm dependent.

Make some extremely powerful moves from a large double cut undercling sloper up through bad slopers. Top out direct.To the best of my knowledge, eight sends have been confirmed -- Brian Kim (FA of Yo Yo Jiminy) being the seventh and Conor O' Hale being the eighth. Make your place in history!

Aka Ashram Mandala.Start with the left hand on the good sidepull and right hand on slopey crimp. First move is the same as Smack the Dragon (left hand to the lower flake). Move right through a series of sharp crimps and top out at the very right end of the boulder.

The route is the same as Polish Traverse V5, but without the sit start and without using feet. There is another route listed on Mountain Project under the name “Polish Campus” with false information about the top out. In fact, it tops out the same as Polish Traverse V5.

A tough eliminate from the regular Koma's Roof Stand: go direct to the top-out hold from the good LH sidepull and the RH rail, i.e., the little sloper above the sidepull and the incut crimp are off. In addition, in the same way as the regular Koma's Roof Stand, the golf ball is off.Grade remains uncertain; I'm personally unsure whether it feels 8/9 or a full 9. Other opinions needed and welcome.

Eliminate of Polish Traverse. Skip both the golf ball and the pinch sloper, going direct from LH in-cut crimp ("smiley face") to the crack. The 2-finger crimp left of the golf ball (used by Ashima here is on. It may be possible to go from LH on the sloper left of the smiley face and RH directly from the smiley to the crack, but this has not been attempted, to my knowledge.NB the NYC guidebook calls this V6 and only skips the golf ball. This variation, in my opinion, is more interesting.

Start with a RH on the sloping rail left to and level with the LH of Smack the Dragon, LH on the heavily chalked undercling. Climb left along the same holds as Polish Traverse and top out above the flake.

 Pretty fun moves, a good combination of burly and technical. 

One-move wonder. Start LH on the sloping rail, RH on the good foot on the crux of Polish Traverse -- either as a gaston or by crimping the top of the hold. Move to the bad sloper, and then the golf ball. Top out direct.

This route uses nearly all the same holds as the classic Polish Traverse but climbs significantly differently. Personally, I think the movement is a bit more interesting and the line is arguably more aesthetic as it follows the sweep of rock up and left to the highest point of the boulder. Climbing this makes you realize that the Polish Traverse is actually a downclimb.Start on the good flake that marks the end of the hard climbing on the Polish Traverse and move left, culminating in an exciting barndoor deadpoint throw to the sloping mouth. Top out at the high point.The sit start (first move of Smack the Dragon, then move left into Reverse Polish) is probably a worthy linkup as well (V7?)

Sit-start below the latter (post-crux) portion of Polish Traverse. Left hand on massive sidepull that is a key foothold on Polish Traverse, right hand on chalked up crimp to the right at the same elevation.

 Big left-hand toss straight up to the lower of the double flakes. Top flake (the better one) is off. Right hand up to the jugs. Match hands on jugs.

 EDITED: Top out as you wish. Your hard work is done and the ending is trivial. ORIGINAL: Top out as you would Polish Traverse.

 As far as I know a Rat Rock oldie. One move wonder but I keep coming back to it. Definitely makes you feel strong if this is your limit grade.

Maybe one of the best problems in Central Park.  Sit start into a layback on prominent leaning crack up to a crimp.  Match and move out right to a good sloper.  Turn the corner, and into the crux..

Start sitting, matched on the side pull in the middle of the face and make the move up to the lower flake (deeper flake just above is off). There are two options from there - (1) top out directly (2) follow the Reverse Polish and top out around the corner.
