A choss pile. It is kind of runout, because the rock is too hollow for bolts. It climbs fun though.

Big Bird Direct

This is mossy and long on a positive face. It is located just around the corner to the right from

Big Bird

.

Begin with a thin, hard start, then traverse 6’ left and straight up connecting to

Big Bird’s

seventh bolt.

Sit start, and boulder the steep right side of the west side of the boulder. This was first highballed by Scotty Nichols. I did not know it was a boulder problem already! We kept its original name and, in consensus with Scotty and other climbers, decided to leave the bolts.

The Count is a short route on the big boulder in between the two giant boulders. Climb big holds on slightly overhanging rock.

This has big bouldery moves up the overhanging wall and is steep, pumpy, and lots of fun. Milk the rests between the cruxes. There is a tricky crux in the lower third of the route with a tough clip on the extended draw. The extended draw is made of rope and probably needs replacing with some chain.

Start right of

Mr. Snuffleupagus

. It goes through the left side of a car-size flake up high.

Do a boulder problem start, climb for four bolts, and connect left to

Gesus's

fourth bolt. Finish up on

Gesus

.

Cookie Monster is an isolated route located in the east side of the second large boulder. It is bouldery, short, and steep. Bring a longer quickdraw for the 5th bolt.

Climb a hard crux to a power endurance route with a bad rest on a scoop.

Big Bird was the first route bolted on the face, pumpy and powerful on great rock. Start in the right side of the wall and go up and slightly left. It was rebolted with stainless steel glue-ins in 2016.

Follow the grey streak. Stick clip the first high bolt.

Climb a bouldery sequence for the first 3 bolts, then go up and slightly left, through a cruxy overhang to final vertical rock. Bring a runner for the 9th bolt.

This route has big holds and is in the middle of the face.

Bert is a nice route with lots of buckets. It climbs the right side of the wall.

Grover's Muppet Adventure is just to the right of the log laying against the wall. There are big, nice holds.

Start as for

Big Bird Gesus

, then keeps traversing left pass

Rosita

,

Abracadabra

, and finally join

Oscar the Grouch

. This is an awesome link-up. It is a long pitch that climbs the best second half of

Oscar the Grouch

. Use a long runner when you join

Oscar the Grouch

.

Climb a crimpy crux to a powerful overhang.

Climb the seam/crack to a big “chossy looking” bulge to a second cruxy bulge (with long fixed chain draw).

Murray Monster has a crimpy crux to a big move. There are nice pockets before the anchor.

This adds a direct bouldery start to the good

Big Bird

. Climb for three bolts, and connect to

Big Bird’s

fourth bolt.
