This is a one move problem that climbs a near vertical face on good rock over a perfect landing.

Stand start with a left hand sidepull-pinch and a high right hand pinch-edge. From there, plant both feet on the wall, stick a right hand edge, follow to the lip, and make an easy mantle on top the boulder.

These short problems are very difficult to put a grade on. I can't tell if I am terrible at this move or if it actually has some difficulty.

Shadowcaster

Southern Sweet Tea

Shadowcaster ascends a slightly overhanging arete on good rock over an equally good landing.

Sit start with an obvious pair of edges below the arete. From there, gain the horizontal rail, work the feet up, then make a big, awkward left hand move to a three-finger dimple/pinch (crux), match a right next to it on a spike, then work a few balanced moves on the remaining arete, and top it out.

Sit start with a small, left hand edge and a right hand jug.  Pull of the ground (crux), sort out the feet, hit a left hand sidepull, bump the right up and eventually hit the lip, and then top it out or cruise the lip left all the way to the boulder's apex.

Makes for a decent warmup.

Start on a small crimp rail and a smaller crimp for the right hand. Get high feet and move upward to a 3 finger sloper. From there, there is just one more move to the top with an easy topout.

This problem has potential for a sit start, but it would up the grade significantly.
