This is the 2nd route on the buttress. Balance up thin seam, trending left after the 2nd bolt. Keep moving up and left to finish on anchors of Where the Green Fern Grows. Cleaning can be a bit of a challenge. Be careful unclipping first bolt.

Classic route. Route begins under small roof with a few thin moves. Pull roof to easier climbing. Moving out right after roof makes it spicier and a shade harder.

Start on the hueco jug out far right and low. Move left while throwing some heel hooks to the "juicy" undercling that is one of the start holds of Fresh Squeezed. Span the gap to compress the block and then climb Fresh Squeezed. I think this problem adds a fun move to the original and squeezes a little more climbing out the detached boulder. I have graded this v5 since I think the original problem goes at around v4. Also, let me know if this has already been done before or if I completely misread the original problem's description. 

Sit start on two small crimps to the left of Fresh Squeezed. Make a big move off small holds, do some funky climbing and end with more bad holds. Finish hold is a flat three finger dish. 

Obvious overhanging fin feature detached from the wall. Start under the feature compressing on on a slopey edge for the left hand and and the juicy undercling for the right hand. Figure out the feet and fire to a pinch. Slap your way up the rest of the problem and end at a sloper jug on the left side of the fin and drop off. You could continue up to the top on 5.8 terrain but the rock quality is questionable and the walk off lengthy.

Sit start on jug just above lip, go left to small two finger pocket grab intermediate and make big move to flat jug. Finish up and right. Good holds to the left are off. 

Start on obvious jug climb straight up through increasingly difficult move to crux finish. Finish on three finger flat pocket. 

Shaded area by the river approximately 200 feet right of the Abominable Boulder. The area is somewhat overgrown so only faint trails exist leading up to the wall, but you'll see the bolts shining in the sunlight.

 The boulder route Fresh Squeezed (V7) is located further back off the main trail near a small creek bed that has formed from water run off from the main wall. This wall will sometimes have a waterfall after a lot of rain, and the boulder route is near that spot. If you are looking for a fun, challenging boulder problem, definitely check it out. 

 The sport routes in this area have older bolts, so please use caution before climbing here. These routes also tend to be dirty due to lack of climbers.
