Runs up the obvious crack on the south side of the boulder. It starts with a high hand jam and a good, finger-size crack under the small overhang. There are decent jams and small crimps the entire way. The crux is keeping enough skin to finish the problem.

. Start with your left hand on the slopey undercling and your right hand on the horizontal crimp, and chuck your left hand to the lip.  Everything right of the crack is off.

Jump or cheat stone / pad start with right hand on the good crimp and left hand at the the lip.   Then without using the crack, muckle or mantle over.

Start on top of the 6 foot tall rock just west of the Rear-End Rock.  Climb down through the tunnel and back to the top of the rock.  Both directions go. The ground is off.

Start matched on the bad slopey underclings with ok feet. Make a powerful right hand move to a good edge, and hold on tight. Adjust your feet, and make a long move/jump to a decent, left hand gaston over the bulge. From here, match and make your way to the top using some slopers and a good horn near the crack above.

This problem is a bit contrived, since you cannot ever use any holds or feet to the right of the obvious crack going down the center of the boulder. Still, it is a great power problem.

Sit start with your left hand in an awkward dish and your right on a small crimp.  Climb up to the jugs straight above and top-out via many good edges.  You can down climb to the smaller boulder on the southwest side or use the fallen tree.
