Sit start. Climb the flake finding the good holds on it to a crimp. Then move left to a slopey feature. Find your feet and go for the top. Top out using the good jugs passed the lip.

Blue Problem

Start matched on a rail low to the ground just right of the obvious crack. Ascend through edges to a medium sized pocket out right. Figure out the top out sequence through a sloped hold and up the mossy slab over to the backside of the boulder.

Begin low on a very positive shelf. Make a move to a deep and generous crimp. Then find your way up past a slopey crimp and a thin crimp rail to a hand-sized sloper. Figure out the top out sequence on mossy slab.

Guaranteed to get your blood pumping. This tall, overhanging line starts with some powerful moves on a very hollow left facing flake. Pray it doesn't break off as you move up it to a jug. Next, climb through good pockets to an incut horizontal. From here, locate a jug a few feet over the lip and to the right and a sloping crimp just to the left. Use these to help you make the straight forward but frightful topout. Climbing up the downclimb area and ticking the topout holds isn't a bad idea, as they are somewhat hard to find and a fall from the top is definitely not recommended.

Dyno V5! what's not to like?  Start on the triangle jug with a high right foot and small, smeary left foot. Make a big deadpoint move to a jug pocket up and left. From there set up and throw for the top of the boulder. May be wise to have a spotter but if you miss the first big throw its not a bad fall usually.

A good, fun introduction to highball bouldering at Coopers. Start on a sidepull and move up to a good jug. Make a committing move up and right through a sidepull and a pocket to some good holds at the lip that make for an easy but scary topout.

A Classic Coopers Rock test piece. Sit start on sloping edges in the hueco and make long moves through perfect edges to a set of shallow pockets. Move up and left past a jug to the top.

Begin sitting with a high pocket and left handed pinch. Move up to a couple of slopers and continue up left.  Try avoiding the right arete.  If you want to make it easier use the jugs on the right side of the arete.

"If The Shocker just isn't doing it for her, try The Punisher" -Brayack and Keenan

This route links together The Blue Problem with The Shocker. Start sitting using the same start holds as The Blue Problem (a pinch pocket and a good crimp in front of the tree) but after the move to the sloper on the lip, traverse left along your choice of good holds on the lip rounding the arete to the start of the The Shocker. Finish by firing up the through The Shocker and top out.

This route is #15a on The Gym Face on Boulder 4: Bowling Ball Boulder in the Coral Area in the Brayack and Keenan Falcon Guidebook

Start on a good left hand sidepull and right hand out on a less good sidpull.  Make a big move to a crimp and work your way up and left to a crack.  Top out.

Step up to an obvious low sloping crimp on the right side of the face and a high shallow sloping pocket about a foot above that.  Get feet and make a balancy move over the bulge to a crimp out high and left. Walk up the slab and top out. Avoid using either arete for this problem.

This route is #9 on Boulder 3 in the Coral Area in the Brayack and Keenan falcon guidebook

Make a few awkward moves getting into into the corner using the sloping arete until you are able to reach a sidepull. Use the sidepull to help you get into the crack above it. Climb the crack for a few moves until you can reach the jug on the lip of the boulder. Be careful topping out as the jug is slightly flexy.

Start sitting in front of the tree using a pinch pocket and a good crimp for hands. Throw up to a good sloper and then move up and slightly right to a couple bad slopers. Figure out your hands and feet, move back left in line with the tree and top out through mossy slab. This route uses feet on the Red Problem (to the right of this route) but not hands so if when moving right to the slopers you continue moving right to what feels like a much better sloper rail, you’ve gone off route and need to stay further left.
