Quartz Adjourned

Sit start low on the arete on the bad slopers. A singular desperate move gets you to a jug horn and then v1 territory. A handsfree kneebar is possible on the jug horn as well. Follow the arete up to its apex before topping out.

Stand start the slab to the right of the bulge-like feature with thin holds. Climb straight up using a series of thin friction holds and presses with delicate feet.

An aesthetic dihedral begging to be climbed. A low start on the prow will go with a mantle into the scoop, before finishing up the heady and balancy scoop. Needs a bit more cleaning at the lip and a little touch-up scrub on the face.

Sit-start matched on the low shelf beneath the giant quartz protruding from the boulder. Find a tricky foot then pull on and hit a big hold out left then reach up to an edge. From here work your way through the quartz venturing left. Once through the quatz, hit a slopey pinch and some crimps in order to gain a good left hand edge. Once on this edge a big lock-off gains a thin sidepull crimp for the right. Find a foot and reach up lefty to improving holds at the lip of the boulder.  Once at the lip of the boulder, a big move out right gains the apex of the arete. Another large hold for the left could prove useful. From here get the feet up and press it out.

Stand start the low block in order to get established on the pretty arete. A few moves up the sloping arete lets you reach to the lip. Mantle onto the slab or for some extra spice throw up a right heelhook. Problem is over before you know it. One of the shortest highballs in the park.

Stand start the slab and climb straight up or span a foot out right to a large rail and climb up the nearly holdless slab to the top.

Sit start a few feet left of "Quartz Arete" on a left hand gaston. Pull on and make a hard move out right to the horn on the arete. Either hold the tension on the foot or take the footcut and avoid the dab. Finish up the arete.

Sit start matched on the sloping arete/lip. Pull on with some smears, move out right to a good hold than press onto the slab. Venture up the slab into the scooping overhang on some large pinches and fin-like holds to an easy topout.

Sit start matched on the low shelf underneath the giant quartz block. Pull on move up to a gaston then a series of edges found on the crystal. From the crystal move left to a sloping pinch then to some crimps. Once on these crimps, reach up to a larger edge found above the crimps. Then move left to a rail feature that leads to the left corner of the boulder. Grab a large jug at the corner then do a big move up to a flat edge on the top of the boulder. Once on this edge you can grab a pocket-like hold for the left and top out. 

The crux of this one is getting off the ground and doing a long reach righty to a small micro-crimp. Squat starting it makes it a grade or two easier, but also makes it more fun.Sit start with both hands matched on a large diagonal rail. Pull on and figure out how to reach up to some micro crimps before heading right and up into the wave to topout. This problem and "Prairie Dog" share the same topout.

Sit start on the obvious horn jug, pick some feet and make long move up and left to a good sloper. With good foot beta this can be done static. Once you hit the sloper move right to the crack and work up over a tricky topout.

Sit start below the giant crystal matched on the low shelf. Find a large left foot cam and pull up to a gaston. Move up to some sloping edges and then good holds found on the quartz. From the quartz, a long reach out right gains the arete. Once on the arete traverse it out left and top out at the apex. Fun moves and an awesome giant chunk of quartz.

A large boulder with a few easy problems, a couple of moderates and a few projects of unknown difficulty over some pretty scary landings.
