Sit start the same as "Robot Love" and follow the line up to the side-pull underneath the roof-bulge. from here, traverse left through the diminishing crack and under the roof. follow out left, under the roof and through the space of the trees that grow up against the boulder. once past the trees, negotiate difficult moves with out dabbing the trees (may be the crux) and "mantle" on the remaining boulder.

One of the favorites of the grade in the Boneyard. Sit start in the middle of the face in the crevasse, feet on the good ledge. traverse to the right on the positive and appealing crimp-flake rails that lead all the way up and right to the top out edge, where you can use the roof to mantle out with ease.

Use the standard shared start for the boulder (which is very low, in the middle of the boulder). follow up obvious middle features under the roof. once at the top of the feature, use the flake feet and press yourself under the roof using only the roof itself. trend right and press-traverse your way all the way through the roof to the right, and finish topping-out to the right of the roof.

Start far to the right of the boulder, sitting down. put hands on good edges, and feet on good feet. stand up to more good edges and top out on the block edge of the boulder. use of the slopey roof to the left is fine.

This project is the direct line, straight up the middle of the Cupola Boulder. 

  Sit-starts in the shared start hold (as low as possible at the middle of the boulder directly below the roof). Move up through pinches and sidepulls to the base of the small roof. Span directly out to the lip. heel hook and mantle. 

  This line has never been topped... Send it, grade it, and let us know about it!

This boulder gets its name from it's split dome of rock appearance, and the dome like roof feature. This is a smaller boulder, only about 8 feet, but it has a deep crevasse in front where the sit starts originate.    This is an exciting boulder that is first to greet you on your trip up from the road to the RBS. with the best v-0/1 boulder problem in the Boneyard you have and obvious warm up. while at the Cupola boulder, be sure to try out the awesome "cupola Press" (v-5) and "Punctilio" (v-6), or if your up for it the "Cupola Project" that has a grueling top-out... "the recruit" (V-0) is a fun way to start the day if "Robot Love" isn't your cup-o-tea....
