Traverse the entire Cracked Boulder from left to right. Undergo an odyssey of hard, awkward, and beta-intensive moves, then finish on Mutants Amok. Begin with left hand on round sloper and right hand on the large edge at the beginning of Le Fissure King.

This is perhaps the most classic traverse in Santa Barbara. Don't leave Skofield without giving it a go.

She Made Me Do It

Verisimilitude

Le Fissure King

Mutants Amok

So I Did It

One of the best in SB. Also one of the most devious, subtle, and just plain ridiculously hard problems you may ever encounter. Begin with hands matched on improbable sloper, hook something (anything...) with your right heel, and conjure your way to the top.

No spoilers...sorry.

Sit-start under the overhang and climb out the crack to the top.  One must use a painful finger-lock en route--best to tape up.

Standing start is V0, perhaps harder for shorter climbers.

Sit start on a good hold a fair amount right of Le Fissure King. Big moves on good edges from there.

If you thought the moves on She Made Me Do It were great, try doing them in reverse! While possibly gimmicky (I mean, where else do you get to do a dyno with your feet), this problem touts some cruxes that are every bit as vicious as She Made Me Do It, if not more so. In case you're wondering, no, you don't reverse the moves from the top of Mutants Amok. Simply start from the beginning jug of Mutants Amok, then move left, eventually finishing on Le Fissure King.
