start matched on undercling, go straight out the roof, drop off at the jug crack or traverse right to top out

Try not to dab as you traverse to the right through interesting huecos on low quality rock, crux comes on higher quality rock transitioning to the wall behind you

 Note: Maybe this thing broke but it felt pretty hard for v6. Felt more like V8 range to me. 

Sit start with a left pinch and a good right sidepull.  Move slightly left to a good crimp and a cool pinch hold.  Figure out how to move upward to a bad undercling pinch and finally a good jug in the horizontal crack.  From here traverse right on good holds to the prow and drop off or continue traversing until it is possible to top out with the problem "The 40 Watt Range" 

  There are several different ways of doing this problem ranging from heel hook trickery to desperate deadpoints.

The best thing about this problem is the name, which provides endless comedic opportunities along the lines of the famous Abbott & Costello routine "Who's On First?" 

  For example: 

  Your partner:  "What route is that? 

  You: "Fuck You Asshole" 

  Your Partner:  "Dude, chill, I just want to know the name of the boulder problem!" 

  You: "Fuck You Asshole!" 

  ...and so on 

  Begin with a good undercling for the left hand, and a good flake up on the face for the right, with the feet on the polished choss block in the back of the roof.  A dynamic move gains the good 1" climp/pinch below the horizontal break.  Climb into the break, then traverse left along the break with wild, dynamic moves.  Traverse off left, or head up once you are established on the S-facing slab.  Descend easy slabs to the north. 

The movement on this problem is really fun, it's kinda like climbing a roof arete, however the dab factor and contrived finish detract from the overall quality.  Start on a good flake far back under the roof.  Move to a good right hand, then an okay left hand crimp.  Work the heel hooks to keep your feet on and make a big right hand move to an okay hold.  Reset your feet to avoid a swing and the dreaded dab, and cross left hand to the finishing jug just before the chimney.  Match and drop off.

Start left hand gaston, right hand undercling, left of the starting hold for Governator. Move through a cool undercling sequence to connect into the crack system. Top it out!

Serious Attitude Problem climbs a horizontal roof with burly moves, and intricate footwork, ending with a challenging top out. 

  Begin with hands matched on the undercling/pinch thing in the back of the roof.  Its debatable where the feet should start, but purists will avoid the choss blocks near ground level, smearing their feet strenuosly on a rubber-stained divit at roof-level.  Dyno south-ward from huecu to hueco, match on the protruding undercling at the lip, then move up to sharp crimps on the sunny headwall.  Work the feet onto the lip and mantle.  This topout is difficult, as the crimps on the slab are not nearly as good as one would like.  Head north to a chimney and descend to the west.

Start on the left most jugs on the horizontal crack.  Traverse rightward for a long ways until you hit jugs and an easy section to top out on.  There are a few decent rests along the way to keep the pump factor low.

This is a spectacular and burly sandbag.  Start at the very back where the crack meets the chimney, stepping off the boulder to the left to gain the first sinker hand.  The first ten feet will warm you up for the rest, which is unrelenting until you can stand up over the final lip.  This is a world class rock climb involving a distinct sequence of wild moves up a striking line on good rock.  Climbs like this don't get near enough respect.  Tape up and get after it because this is one of the best burly cracks anywhere.

This line was closed in 2017 due to rock art.This line was among the best V8's on North, however it is now closed for archaeological reasons.  Start on the left side of the boulder with a left pinch and a right undercling. Make a big move to a good pocket, then a jug undercling. From here figure out some trickery to match in the gaston hueco and obtain the holds on "Serious Attitude Problem". From here keep it together for the tricky topout shared with "Serious Attitude Problem".  There are no small holds so the difficulty comes from the amount of core and shoulder strength required. 

The Terminator Boulder and surrounding boulders offer a variety of fun problems from V1 to V-double digits.  Most of these problems are very steep, climbing out cave roofs.  The centerpiece of this area is actually a splitter hand and finger roof crack, that was once a popular 5.12+ toprope problem (though it now appears The Terminator hasn't seen action for quite some time).  The boulders face south, so they tend to bake in the sun, although since these are caves, most of the problems are largely shaded, with only the topouts exposed to the sun.
