An alternative to Popeye(V3). Same start as and first half of Popeye. Instead of going up to the end of Popeye go right until the end of the face and top out (basically the same top out of Jack slap (v7)?). Feel free to use all the pockets at the top out. Shout out to local hero Steve for inspiration and hype on this route. In Steve we trust.

Hemlock Traverse

To the left of Popeye and just around the arete. Climb up left.

One move wonder.  Stand start reaching to big edges.  Set feet.  Explode to sloper.  Stay tight and top out straight up.

Start low on the arete to the left of Peter Tosh. Continue on the arete and top out.

Just to the left of Dave Hume Problem and goes out the roof to the arete

Sit start on crimps. Jack a high right foot and slap that side ramp. Top out the prow to right.

Start with a right hand in a deep boxy pocket and a polished left hand with your body nearly in the cave. Get to the start of Jack Slap from this position and finish it up.

 Also known as Jack Slap Sit. 

On the opposite side of the block from the Hooker boulder, sit start on the big rail and work through unique eye holes/pockets to a slopey topout.

Get down in there like you're going to change your oil. Power out the roofs with some long pulls. Get sideways at the flat roof and send to the lip. Turn and top out.

Sit start very low on the obvious and heavily chalked jug rail. Move up and out the roof using an undercling, a long reach, and core tension. Make a dynamic move to a decent pocket, and latch the jug rail. This is where the business starts. Move up to a crimp, flip to an undercling, and do a difficult standup move to a thin slot that you just can't see. This is a very low percentage move. One more difficult pull-through guards the topout. Move left to finish up. The movement on this problem is flawless.

A Lily CLASSIC! Sit start under arete.  Move to side pull and up arete using jugs and slopers.  Top out.  Walk off the back side

Same start as Sick Boy (AKA Hemlock Traverse) on some crimps behind the tree. Climb up to some sloping pockets to the top out.

Start verrrrry bottom-left of main boulder face on crimps. Use some small crimps to pop out to jugs and traverse the entire boulder, finishing up the right arete (same as hemlock arete). For another fun variation, go up slam dunk (v5) before you get to the right arete. Neither have definitive cruxes. Just a route on a boulder... Great rock and fun movement.

The first problem on the right is the Hemlock Arete (V4).  all the way to the left Now or Later (V6).  More classics are on the back side such as Dave Hume Problem (V10).
