Begin on the chalked holds near the arete, then make a left-ward reach to a nice side-pull. Work up the arete with the right hand and delicately stand to reach the lip. Easy and fun top-out.

Warm up

Start on the east face of the boulder. Begin on small crimps and head straight up avoiding the arete on the right. Crystal pinch high with bad feet and throw for the lip. Fun problem and helps if your tall!

Follow large quartz jugs and an easy right hand arete to the top.

The Five Alive Boulder is one of the first block you encounter when entering the area. Can be seen from the parking lot. Most parties walk right past this block on the way into the heart of the Trash Can Boulders. The arete and the East face have great problems that utilize sharp crystals. The North face hosts a great warm up on the right side of the face/arete.
