Directly up the center of the face. One big move to start.

Climb directly up the left edge. There is a very obvious horizontal crack 6ft up. During the FRA a discussion about Dean Potter soloing the crack route Short Circuit in the video Masters of Stone 5 was happening. Mid discussion a hold broke, but rather than causing the FRA'er to fall off, his back slapped into the large tree next to the boulder, his feet stayed on and in his hand was the hold. Short Circuit is also a classic 80's movie, where the name comes from.     

The Pandemic Block sits about 10ft off of Forest Home Road. From the road this boulder appears mossy and unappealing. However the South side that faces away from the road sports a clean, high quality rock face that's slightly overhanging. The South side of the boulder is about 10ft tall with a very flat base/landing. There are three independent lines and many more variations. The easiest descent is off the East side, using a tree for help. The location of this boulder makes it very likely that it was climbed on before 2020. Although, perhaps not, since several "holds" came off easily during the initial cleaning...
