Right around the corner from Black and Blue, facing down the hill, start with two decent crimps about head height.  After getting the left foot on the obviously huge foot go out left to a ridiculously small crimp.

The crux is making your way from this perch to the obvious slot above.  Most people cross but you can also bump the left.  Either way it's far and you'll be bearing down on small crimps.

For a two move problem this one is fantastic, technical and powerful.  Bring your A-game crimp strength for this one.

This problem starts on two crimps then goes out right to a bizarre finger lock/sloper. Crux is holding the swing after doing the big move to one of the coolest holds I have ever seen (an ear like hold with a deep left hand thumb catch. Landing isn't too bad now that it has been built up, but some spotters are a must. A fall from up high would miss the landing and has the potential to be very bad. The grade given here is from the sit start. There is a stand that goes at V8- or V7+.

Start on the blocky jugs right of the prow. Climb huecos and edges to the top. Walk north to down climb.

Start on the in-cut crimp and a pinch next to the ghostly looking tree. Reach up to the flake above and top out.

To the right of "Skins Game," start on the flake and in-cut crimp with low feet. Work your way up the face using micro crimps until footing is good. The crux is two moves from the end, finding good feet and making a stab at a high right in-cut. Top out is solid.

On the FA, one of the crimps broke out under my foot and is now half as large as it was to start. This makes it quite a bit harder, but not ruined.

Start with your feet on the huge shelf under the roof and your hands on the crimp rail and/or pocket.  Move through a sharp, bunchy, and dynamic crux to jugs for the topout.  Be super careful of the last jug on the top of the boulder, it's very fragile.  I recommend a beached whale or maybe a left exit.  You must avoid pulling much at all on this hold.

Start low on a small pocket and edge.  Use slippery feet and make your way to the lip for a tricky lip pull.

Start sitting on some good jugs. Climb up the overhanging square cut block via fun compression moves to a final pop for the lip. The top out is fairly straight forward.

The crack to the right is not meant to be used for this problem, nor is it really reachable if you climb the problem straight up, unless you have a huge wingspan.
