This route starts on the same holds as route 5 and purple, but goes out left instead. No matter how you start this climb, the crux is getting into the side pull and making another move to the lip and finishing out left. Beware of the large X on the hold on top of the boulder, as it is very hollow. The climb is beautiful and powerful. I’ve seen lots of different and very unique beta for getting to the top making it a Unaweep classic!

This problem is just basically a huge dyno. Start on the [sloping] shelf all the way left on the main east face. Dyno to the lip and then mantle over. It is a scary top out. Either go all the way to the top of the Plethora or descend the south face.

Stand start is consensus V4, as described above.

Sit start is V7, with an even lower start that might up the grade.

Start the same as

Purple

...on the sloping pinch and sloping crimp...pull up and make a lock off, and tension move with your left hand to a 1/4 pad crimp below the big sidepull. Pull hard, make a drop knee and fall back into the sidepull.. match, and finish into

Route 5

.

This is probably the easiest problem on the east face of the Right Plethora Boulder.  This is a worthwhile problem but is unfortunately over shortly after it has begun.  Start on the obvious horizontal edges at 6' and make a move to a made-to-be-grabbed pinch, and then move up and left to a pocket - or skip this and move all the way to the lip - and top out.  Using the large dish feature out right for the top out may be frowned upon, but if your partner isn't looking....

This is the other route on the west side of the Right Plethora Boulder and climbs up via squeezing between a rail with your right hand and the arete with your left.  Move to the sloping lip and make a big move to the horizontal feature.  It is highly recommended to climb down and left and jump than tempt fate by attempting to top out.

This is a mediocre problem that combines an awkward start with a hard first move and easier climbing above.  Start standing in the obvious chalked underclings and make a desperate move to the juggy hueco while falling backwards.  Match and finish up on the angling lip/arete above making sure not to fall off, 'cause you really don't want to do that first move again.

This is perhaps the best boulder problem at the Plethora Boulders and should not be missed.  It consists of big moves on generally good holds above an excellent landing.  Start sitting on a long, angling hold and make a big move up to a blocky jug.  Move right out the horizonal crack feature to a hueco and then up to the lip/arete above.  Make a move left on the arete to a large hold and rock over.  Quickly descend off the south face so you can do another lap!

Variation: Start a few feet to the left on the arete and traverse into this problem, joining at the blocky jug.  This adds a couple moves, a little difficulty, and a lot of awkwardness....

If you are feeling idiotic enough to pull on this choss pile, please make sure you do so with the knowledge that the holds are not solid, and your climbing ability is unlikely to abate the danger involved. If you fell topping out, it is likely you would be rushed to the hospital. This is a warning to take it seriously....regardless of how many 6 packs you had that day.

The name is based off color of arrows in picture.

Start with your right hand on a sloping pinch and a left hand up high. Put a foot on the block of the start hold on #5 and pull up and move into 2 small crimps... set up and make a HUGE move out right to a solid crimp...finish up the V4 after hitting that hold.

Sit start with a left hand in the hole and a right hand down low. Move up to the ledge with your right, and find a way to stick that sidepull up and left, then squeeze your way straight up to the lip. The topout is no easy journey. Good luck if it's warm, this thing takes some serious power.

This problem is located on the west face of the Right Plethora Boulder and takes advantage of some good holds in terrible rock.  Start standing in a steep, juggy crack and make a couple moves up the not-quite-rock crack until a big move can be made up and left to a good hold.  Move up and right to the juggy horizontal and contemplate climbing the junky, high-ball finish.  Wisely, reverse a couple moves and jump down to safety.

This is a low start to

Double Aught

(V4).

This is a great problem with a difficult-to-hold sloper and a bit of foot trickery.  The start of this problem is the same as for Route 2, however, upon reaching the blocky jug, head straight up to the obvious large pocket/small hueco and on to the lip.  Throw a heel up and commit to the rock-over.

This is an excellent problem that isn't over until one has fully rocked over onto the slab.  Start sitting with your right hand on the obvious blocky hold and left hand on a large edge.  Make a desperate first move up to a sloper or pocket and then move up to good pocket, hold the swing and continue straight up the face to the sloping lip.  It may be wise to check out the top out and figure out what you can desperately crimp on before getting here on the send.

This is definitely not a new problem—there was plenty of chalk on these holds. Please contribute any historical info you have or previous names for this thing.

This is just to the right of

Route 1

and finishes the same as

Mark of Zorro (aka Route 2)

. Start with a blocky sidepull for your right hand and a low (~2') sidepull edge for your left hand. Move through sharp edges and slopers to compress your way to the big, right-hand pocket before traversing left through slopers into the arete finish of Zorro.
