Start sitting or lying under the scoop with hands on the sloping rail of the first rock. with a couple options for feet including left or right heel hooks, establish and pull up through good horizontal hand jams and latch onto the somewhat Dino head shaped boulder, a heel-toe cam and/or knee-bar might be useful. Do a bit of a wrestling match going straight up through the sweeping scoop feature with a mixture of hold types and somewhat puzzling movement to get stepped up. Their is a not so awesome crimp for the pull through the topout. Beached whale it was for me! This was a fun piece of rock and a bit different of style.

Big Arete

Arete Problem

Begin at the lowest slopers (yes, the big greasy one is the left-hand start hold - sorry) and slap/hook your way up the protruding, overhanging block. Best to try early in the day, before the sun gets on it. This is one of the few problems of its style in the Flag/Sedona area.

Climb the hand crack as it widens slightly and slopes over to the top.

Climb straight up jugs to a right moving mantle.

Climb the low-angle black slab with a thin seam for the left hand and tiny bubbly features for the right, using very slick feet at the start. Reach the good holds about 2/3 of the way up and top out easily.

Climb the rounded corner around the back of the far boulder on mostly good holds, finishing with a surprising mantel.

Getting off the ground is cruxy, just remember your feet. this climb should stay far enough right to not be able to reach the easy crack but hey

Looming behind the other boulders is this tall, beautiful arete. Climb it by the right side. Start on the obvious large jug and pull past a gaston in the face into laybacks on the arete and a committing move to the lip.

Climb the far trailside arete of the second boulder with small holds, technical moves and a reach to a hidden bucket. Climbing the right face without using the arete or the big holds at right is a good tweaky eliminate.

Keep walking past the first cluster of boulders for a few minutes to find another, smaller cluster of boulders. There are many high quality problems here.
