Start with hands on some pinch/sidepulls around 4-5' high and go straight up the overhanging face. The crux is the first move, followed by easier climbing.

Go up the slab on smears and small edges trending left toward the highest point of the boulder. Avoid larger holds on the right.

345 Sit is a very cool line offering fun sequences on pretty good stone. This is somewhat committing up high. It is worth bringing a handful of pads for, as falls can go in any direction due to the nature of the climbing.

This aspect of the boulder offers nice rock and varied movement, starting with powerful pulls on edges to a committing rock-over, followed by a few thin slab moves that keep your attention all the way to the top.

If you're by yourself with just one pad, the landing is fairly reasonable, unlike the V8 to the left.

Begin with your hands matched on the obvious, incut edge on the arete, a few feet right of the start for the

. Move straight up along the right edge of the arete for a few moves until it feels natural to transition onto the slab. A harder variation looks possible, staying on the arete all the way to the top, but it looks desperate and dirty, and the landing below is ugly.

This is fun and a bit tenuous. Start between the arete and

on a low, left sidepull and right hand, descent edge. Move up a couple awesome crimps, and do a tenuous move to an awesome, positive sidepull. Continue nearly straight up the center of the face on fun holds.
