The Karman Line is the hardest line to date at the Labyrinth. It took me well over 100 tries to complete, only because I constantly fell off the first move over and over, but also because there is an upper crux that had me baffled for a long time.  

  It is one of the few stand start problems out there, though there is a sit start that would bump the grade up a bit. Start off the obvious crimp, pull into a shoulder intensive gaston, and crank past it. Then follow the insecure crack to the second crux, and topout on a great finishing hold.

Wall-Nut

Acid Undertow

Monstradomus

Shedu

Wall-Nut is a relatively fun boulder with pretty small holds, but being slabby/vertical makes the holds seem pretty good. Stand start off the obvious crimps and follow the few holds up to a good, but slightly dirty topout. It really is a great problem, but given the quality of the problems surrounding it, it really doesn't stand out as much.

Monstradomus is the best low-ball boulder problem in the Labyrinth, with difficult starting moves and a very committing dynamic lunge for a great hold, and then the crux topout mantle for the finish. All in all a great problem.

From a sit start on a side-pull rail under the roof, crank straight out the prow, topping out on the huge finishing jug. Great moves, hard climbing, but is much harder for anyone under 5'10. Definitely one of the must do problems.

The Labyrinth boasts the highest concentration of quality bouldering the Wichita Mountains has yet to offer. The area gets loads of sun, but there are some really stellar problems that get shade for hot summer days. It can get pretty windy sometimes, but that's typical of Oklahoma. The rock quality is topnotch, especially for the Wichitas, and the problems are stellar and offer a huge variety of climbing.
