The juggy crack in the center of the north face. Can be done from a sit start at about the same difficulty.

Listed in the Joshua Tree Bouldering Guide as #609, Unnamed

Directly behind the Handicapped Parking at Cap Rock is a long, low boulder (The Hatrack) with boulder problems on all sides of it.

Right of Turban (V2) on the west face of The Hatrack is where this fun problem is located. Steep friction dishes and sloping edges lead to a delicate finish. One star out of five.

Right of Sombrero (V1) and left of the obvious parking sign, on the west face of The Hatrack, is where this friction slab is found. Remember - it's all in the feet. One star out of five.

Climb past a horizontal crack and some edges above it with slabby feet and then smoothly work upwards to endless slopers over the lip. The crux comes as you match on the slopers and work your feet up to good holds but it's still possible to lob off higher.

Surpisingly better than it looks, this sloper problem is best done on colder days for positive results.

Work your feet up steep smears to reach a high dish, run your feet up and and then mantel over the top. The crack to the right (

Porkpie

) should be considered off.

This problem isn't listed in the Joshua Tree Bouldering Guide but is an obvious line with some good moves that's worth a go when in the area.

Stand start at a juggy horizontal and work up and right into a shallow crack to finish.

Directly behind the Handicapped Parking at Cap Rock is a long, low boulder (The Hatrack) with boulder problems on all sides of it.

This is the first problem right of the parking sign on the west face of The Hatrack and climbs a slippery slab on slopers with one positive but sharp edge. Make sure you're shod in your slippers when you send this short sandbag that's best done in the shade. One star out of five.

Start at a thin flake and reach up and left into an undercling/pinch, then run your feet up high to gain the top where a mantle finishes it off. A little cramped with the boulder behind but the moves are quality.

Directly behind the Handicapped Parking at Cap Rock is a long, low boulder (The Hatrack) with boulder problems on all sides of it.

This is the left-most problem on the west face of The Hatrack and climbs a pseudo-crack to sloping topout. You'll encounter one good fingerlock but other than that it's all friction and pimping crystals as you stretch for the top - being tall helps on this one. One star out of five.
