Honestly a 3 star v0 in my book. This line starts to the left of "Calcutta Crack" on a long right facing sidepull rail. Move up and right to link into the long line of easy knobs that lead to the top. FUN!

This is a link-up off the start of "Never Have I Ever" into "Easy Equinox". 

  Start as per "Never" but traverse up and left into the midway seam of "Easy" and finish as per. 

  This is a pure crimp-strength traverse into a fun finish.

Could be 3 stars... 

  Start low on the left side of the main face of Equinox. Find the low, thin crimp rails and follow them up through more (the crux is a cross-over through exceedingly tiny crimps) crimps and get to the top (Which are jugs and are the only non-crimp holds that the problem offers (Gotta love a GHSP finish!) at almost 20ft up.

Sit start at the base of the uphill-most portion of the boulder at the base of the arête. Move up into the slopey seam and then up to the gain slopey arête lip for a tricky pinch/lobe. Commence the traverse of the arête from there and follow it up to a good knob at the top of the boulder.

A spectacular line and the first thing you see when you get to the Luminary Area. This one should be high on your list. 

  On the first steep face of the Equinox Boulder as you get into the area, find the very thin juggy flake at the base. High at the top you should see the long jug-rail mouth. This is several feet left of Equinox Arete under the steepness. 

  Match in the thin jug flake and power up and past distant, thin crimps to the final highest two. Get set up on the highest two crimps and dyno to the jug rail. Cruise up to top out direct.

Stand start by stepping up onto the ledge platform to the left of the tree. Match the enormous jug and move right into the gaston ramp. Move left to the slopey flat top and hop up to top out.

This is a great boulder problem. The finish is a little heady and is the crux, but overall its pretty easy-going. 

  On the back slab, to the right of Seeds You Sew is this long, progressivly thinning, diagonal crack. Stand start at is base and follow the easy crack until you have to transfer over to tiny little knobs to find the top.

This thing is bad to the bone. nearly 20ft tall, slightly to steeply overhung, credit card crimps... what more do you need?
