Another great warmup or beginner problem that starts beneath the left side of the overhang right of Lactose. Sit start with a good right-hand jug and either a left heel hook or a high right foot in the cave.  Power up to the same crystally jug as on Lactose and finish straight up.  Try not to get your fingers stuck in the start hold.

A slopey traverse that nearly becomes a highball at the end.  Sit start at the base of the boulder on the right side of the face.  The holds are usually buried under pine needles and leaves.  Pull up to the arete/lip out left and move around the corner to follow the lip up and left before mantling over and finishing.

Although not usually clean due to lack of traffic, this problem is better than its neighbor.  Stand start the low angle face on the right of the arete and climb straight up to a semi-highball topout.

A long, fun problem with some great beta.  This line moves left to right up the overhanging side of the boulder and links Lactose into V-8.  Sit start with hands in the small slots formed by the crack and left foot on a good block.  Move right hand to the good jug, get a kneebar, and cross left hand up to a quartz crimp.  Change the kneebar to a heelhook and slap a sloper on the lip before bumping into the crack (crux).  Another heelhook will help the transition into the better holds.  Finish up the crack.

A fun, albeit short climb that is usually worth cleaning the pine needles and spider webs off of.  Right of Smoothie and V-8, locate the short crack and arete atop the short boulders.  Wedge a pad or two on top so you don't fall through the hole.  Sit start with a left hand in the crack and right hand on the arete.  Pull up and slap up the crack until you can reach over the lip to better holds.  Topout and rejoice in the obscurity.

Even with the 1-minute approach, this highball doesn't see much love.  Sit start as for the Welcome Crack with a sidepull and a right arete and pull up into crimps & sidepulls before standing tall on an undercling and reaching around a small roof to better holds.  Finish straight up.

An uninspiring and crumbling face.  Stand start the right end of the face by the arete and head up with large although questionable holds.

A very short beginner problem or something to warm up on.  Sit start the short ass end of the boulder before the "cave" feature, left of Lactose with good slopey holds.  Pull off the ground and reach up for the top of the boulder before topping out.  Named after a crystal on the rock that sliced open a finger or two before breaking.

Sit start with the small rock in between your legs. Grab the sidepull jug and undercling it with both hands. Choose your feet wisely and make a couple of hard moves straight up following the crack. Stick the good hold and finish up and right on slopers in the crack.

The drink, not a bouldering grade. 

  A tricky crack that actually climbs quite well with the right beta.  Squat start at the lip of the roof with a two handed jug in the crack.  Follow a jug and a sidepull up the crack to the crux and figure out how to stand up on the face. 

  A much more difficult variation starts 10-15 feet down in the lowball cave and climbs into the start. 

  Smoothie links Lactose into this climb as a worthy moderate.

Starts in a scooping dihedral and makes a few akward moves up, then traverse left on the crack to the jugs.  The crux is getting around the arete.  After you reach the jugs shake out, chalk up and climb up.  It's easy but high.

A great warmup or beginner problem that starts beneath the left side of the overhang.  Sit start with two good fingerslots in the crack and use a large left foot.  Pull up to a crimp or power straight up to a crystally jug.  Work straight up on good holds and then repeat.

The first two boulders you'll encounter just after crossing the ailing bridge from the parking lot.  A few high classics are interspersed with some steep entry level problems and a project out the cave.  Don't miss the Welcome Crack or Smoothie.
