This short route ascends the attractive and very steep, chocolate-colored arête on the west face of the boulder. Delightful finger pockets get you off the ground, followed by big moves and a definite crux. Finish on hollow rock to a two-bolt anchor.

Ultra Lean

Start beneath a roof on the right side of the west face with high handholds and hard moves off the ground (a cheater stone may be useful). Follow edges and seams up the slight overhang to an anchor shared with Ultra Lean.

The best of The Bod Pod trifecta climbs a smooth, overhanging face with small edges. Start on the friendly opening moves of Core Values (clipping out right) and gain the arête above the first bolt. Long moves between edges sweep you up and right to finishing jugs and the anchor.

This giant, egg-shaped boulder sits atop the ridgeline visible from the loop road at the First Pullout (though the easiest approach is from the Red Spring side). Three burly 5.12s ascend the west-southwest aspect of the boulder; all are short, but collectively make for a fun outing. Be sure to try Ultra Lean (5.12c), the finest of the trio.
