Named for the seemingly ritualistic hangover hike up to the boulders that almost everyone did at one point during the summer of 2012. Start with a bad right hand crimp and left hand sidepull. Crux first move leads to awkward climbing to top out. Be sure to only use the rock that is attached to the boulder (not the flakes pinned beneath it)

An excellent problem, start at the base of the crack and lieback to the top of the flake then move up and right on crimps before jumping to the top of the boulder, short and sweet.

Start on the good crimps and low detached block foot. Slap right to sloper crimp on the prow and move to the pinch at the tip of the nose feature.

The crack on the downstream face. Is much easier than it looks but more intimidating as well. Stand start in the crack and layback up to the top of the crack then move right to a good rail and pull out the sticky shoes as you smear your way up the last moves to the thank god jug top at about 15 feet. The crux at the top will leave you with your heart in your throat even with a ton of pads and spotters bellow you.

The crack on the Cop Out Boulder. Start low on the crack and cross over this zig-zagging crack to a point where you can reach for the left arete and top out.

On the large overhanging boulder just right of Tony's Jump problem. Start in the middle of the boulder on a left hand undercling and right hand pinch. Move right to the jug in the middle of the boulder and then make a big move right to top out.

This excellent boulder problem starts on the right side of the boulder down in the pit using a left hand undercling/gaston and a right hand crimp at head height. Pull the crux moves on thin crimps leading to a good jug from there move left and then exit the face just before the ledge using two crimps and a gaston high on the face. Down climb to the left of the top out by a small tree.

The only reason this gets a star is because it is an excellent first highball because it is so easy. Climb up the slab next to the tree using the seams and the large crack. You may want to inspect the top out first to clean out the top out holds first. It is still a little bit dirty but may (hopefully) clean up with more ascents.

Start as for Carpenter's Traverse but instead of going left move right to two slopers and then continue right topping out just left of the crack. This route is harder for people with shorter wingspans but should still be possible.

An alternate start to Tony's Jump Problem with a slightly less contrived line. Sit start on the right side of the boulder with a right hand sloper on the arete and a good sidepull left. Make a move up to the sloper in the middle of the wall and iron cross out to the crimps before moving into the jump. Excellent!

This boulder problem has it all from crimps to slopers, big moves and trickery abound. Start as for Carpenter's Traverse and go right before the jug as for Build Your Own Escape, but instead of matching the sloper move straight up off the sloper on crimps to the top. Trickery and foot beta are the key to unlocking this puzzle.
