Start from blocky pinches and work straight up on edges and slopers to a finishing jug.

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

Tourist Trap

Slab Problem

Tourist Treat

Side Show

Road Kill

Da Block

Trailside Traverse

Sit start as for Road Kill. Traverse right on crimpers and side pulls to top out on Tourist Treat.

Getting of the ground is a bit powerful, but the crux is probably spanning the gap with no feet to get into the jug at the base of Tourist Treat.

The obvious black slab is climbed on the left side and features balancy movement for most of it's length - a good problem to work on footwork.

Climbs the slightly overhanging face with a crux start on thin holds that get progressively better higher as you work right to the lip. Finishes with an easy rockover onto the slabby top.

Listed in the Tram Bouldering Guide as #75, Unnamed.

This line follows an arete to the right of Slab Problem V1.

Sit start just to the right of the south side arete on sharp crimpers. Move left on side pulls and crimpers into a sloper dish on the arete for the left hand and a blank hold for the right. Throw a left heel hook around the corner and squeeze the rock to make a series of left hand compression bumps all the way up to a thin ledge. Top out on ledges slightly up and right.

This might be a reach problem, but alternative beta seems possible. The crux is probably making the last bump to the upper hold.

Starts on head high crimps left of Slab Problem V1. Moves right along the arete/slap.

Traverse good holds right to left along the trailside face to a vertical finish on blocky holds. A little pumpy for the grade (about 5.9 or so).

Listed in the Tram Bouldering Guide as #76, Unnamed Traverse.
