Easy start but gets difficult to get over a small arete/hump. You can dyno it to a small crimp on the right or a slopper on the left high on the rock. It is nice and shaded in the bushes at the bottom of the Dam.

If you have climbed this before it has been altered due to the large flake on the face falling off. Simplifies the problem and made it  now a dyno boulder problem. Very fun.

Dam Stupid (AKA-Scared Straight)

The first time that I did this problem I repeated it 2 more times right away because it was so fun. It is a standing start with two good crimps above head height. You start from the right side of the boulder and  transverse left (this is where the crash pad should be placed). It has a clean mantle finish and a good hold on top from another rock to help you up. Overall it is a great climb and it is right at the beginning of the Dam Straight Area!

Fun Problem that has a fun intermediate crux to a high mantle finish. This is rated R because you have a four foot wide platform to land on before it drops another 10ft. if you fall and slide off the pad you are falling another 10ft backwards. There is room for you to land but not much margin for error.

Very rewarding climb.
