this problem is on the "back" of the boulder, opposite of the wet-weather stream, 10 feet to the right of the tree at the front "nose" section facing the road.    To find this problem, find the huge "bucket/hole" and this is it.   stand start low on slanted side pull rail, or hands already in the bucket hole.   bump up through the upper edge rail, to the great top out above.

Sit-start under the small overhang. make moves to finger ledge and then to overcome the bulge overhang. top out.

Short and fun! 

  On the far left side of the main face (the nose furthest from the road) you will find a steep overhang that isn't very tall. Sit start under the short nose, left hand on a nice rail and right hand on a thinner rail near the edge of the steepness. Use a high foot to toss right to the flake. Match and toss to the high, distant lip with the nice knob. Follow knobs over the top.

Sit start low on a small crimp & the lower portion of the slanted side pull (which is now a gaston)... move up through the standard warm up problem and top out.

An awesome warm up and directly beside the road. This is the first nice warm up for the Left Boneyard and AVP Areas. 

  When you walk up to this boulder from the road, just past the small steep section to the left (before the taller main face)find the long left facing seam. 

  Start with s left hand at the bottom of the seam on the thinner crimp portion and a high hand on the nice rounded loaf/seam. 

  Pull on and quest through the seam to the cap roof. Negotiate the roof to the high jug crack.

Sit start same as viaduct.   once at the long crimp rail, veer right to a good rounded in-cut edge. continue to follow more in-cut edges and trending slightly more to the right, finishing to the left of a smaller tree.

Awesome! 

  On the left side of the main face look for the curved left facing crack that follows the scooped out steepness. The crack ends before a large sloper bulge. 

  Stand start underclinging the thin, lowest portion of the crack. 

  Cross through to the nice jug and follow the in-cut crack sections to better holds higher up.  

  Negotiate the slopers at and over the lip to the huge "duck bill" block for the top out.

This line is in the middle of the main face and is one of the best lines on the boulder. 

  Stand start on two nice flake edges and post up feet. Move directly up the slightly scooped face to gain the long bar/rail feature. Pounce to the top lip to mantle over.

Sit start in the middle of the back of the boulder, about 5 feet to the left of the tree near the nose of the boulder that is furthest from the road.   hands matched on a low smaller crimp rail. move up through long crimp rails, trending to the right.    move up through crystally pockets, trending slightly right, but not so much as to utilize the bucket/hole... top out on knobs.

Sit-start on low, obscure holds, and follow the series of small holds up the blunt arete, or use small crimps (if you can find any) on the front of the blunt arete... top out.

This boulder has several high quality problems that shouldn't be missed!

 Unfortunately, during the wet spring season and after heavy rain in the summer, this boulder will have an active stream running in front of it. Dry summers, and most of the fall and winter this stream is dry.

 Roadside is the first and most obvious boulder at the start to the short approach for either the A.V.P. area or the Left Boneyard, and serves as a perfect marker to help find the start of the Left Boneyard.

 It is beside the road and there is a small wet-weather creek in front of it. The main face is one of my favorites in the LB.
