Start on the far left. Climb the flake, heel-hooking as you go, to the center high-point and top out.

Continuation of the traverse problem- keep going until you can step off on the other side.

This route is located on the back side of the Poker Chip (Beth Wald boulder in the Southern Nevada Bouldering) guidebook.  Stand start on slabby face to small crimpy holds and make cool moves to progressively better holds

The crimpiest line on the Beth Wald boulder climbs through small crimps just left of Potato Chips. Two obvious variations exist.    The V7 version starts on the same holds (a left-hand crimp and right-hand sidepull crimp) as Potato Chips, then moves immediately left into a small, left hand crimp. Center avoids all holds on Potato Chips after the start, following a line of sharp, but increasingly positive, crimps to the lip of the boulder.     A more direct, V9 variation starts from a crouch on a poor right-hand crimp and left-hand undercling (or crimp) and climbs straight into the line describe above.

Start with your left hand as low as possible on a crimp / side pull a few feet left of the potato chips start. Use the lowest right hand on the "main" potato chips line. This adds one hand movement and a couple of foot movements (depending on how you do it) to potato chips. Figured I'd create a separate climb on MP since this variation is worth doing (in my opinion).

Super low matched sit start on the lowest (horizontal) rail with stretched out toe or heel to get yourself off the ground. Make your way up the slopey but good rails to a good ledge into Right Lip Traverse. Same finish as Poker Chips.

Overhanging and crimpy. Nothing too technical---nice and straight-forward climbing on good holds with a safe top-out and good landing.

Starts a couple feet to the left of Potato Chips utilizing a small right hand crimp and a left hand crimp or underling. Climb goes directly up the face eliminating holds on the right used for Potato Chips.

A fun warm up traverse on good, slopey rails. Listed in Southern Nevada Bouldering guidebook as v2/3 (#207).

Line of chalked crimps left of Wald Face. Start with head height chalked crimps and make two savage moves to a good horn. Climbing eases significantly from there. 

Half moon shaped boulder with several fun problems. Named for the potato chip like flakes that traverse the lip.The "half-moon" perspective is visible only after walking to the north side. The dark rock on the north side overhangs by about 10 degrees.
