Do You Want Your Palms Red?

The crack just to the right of "Tootsie Roll" that separates the two boulders. Crawl as far under/into the crack as possible, invert then climb your way out until you can start to use the holds at the start of Tootsie roll to finish. This crack is a little crumbly on the inside, but a fun oddity. If you only use the crack and ignore the jugs on tootsie roll expect it to be considerably harder.

Start on buckets on right sides of the Canyon Boulder.  Traverse left on slopers and underclings around the corner.  Make a hard match followed by a reach/throw for a sloping ledge.  Continue left and up to the top.

Same as Woo Lee, but V3. Just finish up the first arete where the rail ends.

Another good warm up, do a friction move to gain better holds above.

Get your hands into a small slit in rock, then pull your way up onto a ledge and topout.

A tricky problem on a smaller boulder near the Canyon Boulder. Pull on to underclings and make a hard slap to a couple slopers that feel okay until you try to mantel up on them. The low traverse in from the right, finishing with the mantel is The Monster (V7/8).

Start from Dangling Wu Li Bastard and go up the south arete.

Low traverse. Start right using technique and power, then work left to the Monster Mantle (V5).

A great warm up. Figure out a friction move to get to the double underclings. Stand tall!

Simple compression start, work your feet and move through a series of jugs before hitting a pocket-jug mid route. Great climb, safe landing.

On the left side of the north face of The Nemesis Boulder, climb obvious pocket line.

Sit start on good crimps to the left. Work right on slopers. Hard mantle finish.

Dynamic, crux start up NE arete using sidepulls, etc. Airy finish up rounded arete (could be pine needles up there). Alternate exits possible after initial moves - left on Syphilis Traverse or right on Upside Down. 

Located on the square boulder behind Tootsie Roll. Traverse uphill from the bottom of the rail (south corner) and continue past the first corner. Requires heel hooks and strength.The first half of this is V3. Traverse from same start, but finish where the rail ends up the first corner with small holds.

Start on Dangling Wu Li Bastard, then traverse up and right to sloping mantle.

This area includes The Canyon, The Canyon Boulder, The Monster Boulder, Nemesis Rock, and The Pocket Problem boulder.
