Start with hands matched and hanging with feet out left. Go straight up from there on sloper holds, crux is the topout.

Slice through the middle. Traverse lasts almost half of the boulder's circumference. Follow the crack at half the height of the boulder counter-clockwise. Use right hand crimps and squeeze up arête. Difficulty is in the 7a-7c range. Waiting for its FA.

Sit start crossed on the low back side, left hand on a large chunky pinch, right in a horizontal slot, left foot on the large low foot. Traverse left through shelves into a horn and around the corner. Follow the horizontal crack using holds below the top, feet on smears traversing into a large flake for rest. Continue traversing left through the horizontal crack (or easier: holds above) around the corner and into a high foot and top out. Slightly contrived, long and quality.

Start like Heelies Revival, low on a big flat jug climbing right into the low sloping ledge, then climb Kat Tut. Cave style!

From low sit start and up along the edge of the hardest, biggest and most obvious arête. Difficulty is around 7b - 8a. Starting moves are hella heinous. FA awaits

Start on crimps in the face left of the arete, traversing the low crimps into the feet below the overhang, throw high for an incut crimp/“jug” and top out.

Sds, LH on a big chunky sidepull, RH on the juggy lip above. Shuffle right and heel the lip to set up the crux. Make a wide Gaston and ride the heel and a series of sloppers through the top.Variation: Once matched on the lip, muscle through mantling, and stand up. Not kind to the wrists.

Sit start with both hands on the good ledge.  There is a good foot hold under the boulder slightly to the left (circled in the photo).  The route is one big move to the top which is a decent sloper.  There is also a decent left hand hold halfway up that may help.  (Alternate start is in pink in the photo.  It starts on two very low crimps before moving to the ledge.  Makes the route V3)

Begin sitting, hands matched with a good foot, move horizontally to a hand, fix feet and grapple the ledgy upper reaches.

Crouch start left hand on a horizontal crimp in the arete, right hand on a horizontal crimp in the right face. Go left and then right into the crimps above and through the top.

A sharp and thuggy 9 foot glacial erratic directly off the Greenway Trail in East Haven. Big moves off crimps into more crimps! Bring your pulling game :)
