This climb can have a crux at the beginning  and end but both can be avoided if you choose. To use the hard start begin just right of the overhanging block and climb over to the ramp. To avoid just climb the ramp. At the top you can go hard by continuing straight up to the anchors or go left for an easier time. There is still some cleaning up to do so bring a brush.

This climb starts in the cove left of Punji Pit and finishes at the anchors for Poisonous Pendulum. To be honest I am guessing at the rating as I have only made it to the shelf and then had to aid the next two bolts before finishing the climb. Please climb it and tell me what it rates. You will not hurt my feelings or ego.

This is easily recognized as a series of bulges heading up to the chain anchors.

Labor pains is a mixed route. Starts with an overhang and moves onto face climbing and finishes with an off width chimney.

This climb was named after a hook popped while putting in a bolt on the traverse along the bottom of it and I pendulumed into a bush of poison oak. The oak is gone but the potential to pendulum remains. The holds disappear just when you think it should get easy.

Climb the face just left of unhinged. Try not to use the right arête or the left crack.

The obvious easiest and least vertical face as you approach Lime Kiln boulder. Lots of possible variations.

Climb the face just left of the dihedral. Avoid the big foot holds to the left.

On the left side of Lime Kiln boulder closest to the front corner there is a small sloping ledge about chest high. Start there and go straight up.

The easiest way up, following a weakness on the furthest left side of the prominent overhanging headwall. Start directly under the first bolt then trends left past 2 more bolts, then traverses right to the obvious overhang. The route is new, but most of the holds are cemented pretty well.

This route starts on the far right side of lime kiln boulder and makes a traverse all the way around to the left and finishes with a step of to the log.

Start on the fun overhang of incut jugs(crux) then traverse right at the 3rd bolt and head up the squeeze chimney. Belayer may want a helmet as there is some choss on the traverse. Be careful for the pendulum on the traverse.

The crack on the right side of the front of Lime Kiln boulder.

This is the furthest route back on the right side of Lime Kiln boulder. This less than vertical off width crack needs a little cleaning.

A bouldery start with a crux reaching a big detached block leads to the overhanging finish on Fetal Absorption.

A pumpy little problem in the shallow corner crack on the right side of Lime Kiln boulder. Starts in the dihedral and finishes pulling over the overhanging block.

The crux of this climb is in the opening moves. It starts slightly overhanging and involves some flagging and side pulls to make it to the second bolt. After that there are plenty of rests. The rock is pretty sharp so be prepared.

Climb the right slanting crack on the left side of Lime Kiln boulder.

On the left side of Lime Kiln Boulder. Start right of the hand crack and at the left side of the small sloping ledge. You will see the undercling hold. Start working to it and head up and left finishing where the crack meets the top out.

Start on a big undercling/block and climb up using the left side of the offwidth crack, with a fragile looking crimp and a solid sidepull for the left hand in the middle of the crunchy limestone face. Top out with a good ledge and huge jugs. Maybe kinda reachy but in my opinion the most fun boulder problem here, less contrived than this description makes it seem, I swear

The right facing dihedral in the middle of Lime Kiln boulder. Starts with an easy step up and then?

Takes a line up incut jugs to the top right of near-horizontal formation. Bouldery moves down low and up high separate a crux in the middle. Needs a little brushing but fun pumpy climbing.

The crux is getting off the ground. After that climb any of the variations using the corner, great holds and the upper crack. This is the left side corner on the front of Lime Kiln boulder
