Similar to Bernie Sanders route, but ascends vertically instead of to the left. Holds (crimps/pinches/ledges) and throws aren't terribly difficult, but the top out is a little sketchy, especially compared to Bernie Sanders.

Slightly tenuous holds opening with a left arm throw after matching the start hold. Feet can be a bit tricky, but an overall fun problem that is a good challenge for beginner climbers/climbers who aren't often outdoors. Ridgeline towards the end is good, but topping out is a little trickier and requires some confidence/strength.

Start on either two pinches or pinch and undercling. Move left to crimps and up to rail for topout. Crux is bumping from intermediate to rail/reaching for rail. Feet aren't great, but aren't terrible. 

An good 1-2 move problem that'll get easier as you get taller. Rating is subjective. Start on square hold and jug, use legs and arms to get to the C-shaped pocket at the top in one quick move. 

Follow lightly cleaned holds for a pleasant 25 foot low traverse of the left end of the back ( side facing road) of the Roadside boulder.

 Start on matched pinches. Crimp undercling is crux. 

I bet somebody has done this already but I put in MP first so HA!

Start on right most flake, move out left to undercling/side pull and up to rail at top.

Easy, beginner-type slab problem. Start with side crimp, move to flake and up. Just watch the moss.

Very long traverse that starts on the left-most rail on the Roadside Boulder. Follow along length of boulder (top is NOT on). Right-angled block is where it gets trickier, with flakey undercling moving to a hard lean out right and mantel out. Crimp towards the top of the boulder at the end before water groove is on, bowl/pocket just on top of the boulder is not. Use the sloper out right and your core to lean and press out of the problem.

This is the tallest line at Trussville Boulders. Start on underclings then find your cryptic sequence straight up the vertical wall. Note that the jugs to the left that are the top of Rain Delay are off. 

I debated whether to add this as it’s own route or to just put it in the description of Rainstorm. But I figured since there are so few boulders here and the routes are already super contrived, I’d give this worthy sit start (the move it adds is super good) it’s own page.

 Sit start on the lowest ledge then bump your body a few inches in the air towards a good left hold. Heel hook and rock up towards a decent undercling, the rocket up to the extremely hollow crimp rail. From here finish straight up the wall on Rain Storm.

Sit start matched on a narrow positive rail with very low feet. Pull up to a sloper rail, switch feet and slap up slopers to top out to the right. 

Sit down start on a crimpy undercling. Follow the right facing, left trending flake. Excellent warmup for Isolation and surprisingly fun for the grade.

A good V2 if you're under 6 feet, but could be a V1 as you get taller. Same start as Somewhat Larger Throws, but with an intermediate crimp out left. Finish at the C-shaped pocket and topout.

Sit start just right of the cove with left hand in three finger pocket and right hand using natural thumb catch and mono pinch. Pull up to get right hand on a textured sloper and left hand up to a thin vertical rail. Finish easily on good holds straight over the cove.

A short, 4-6 move problem that starts on a ledge and a small pinch before throwing up to another small ledge. Not bad for warmups. Requires a couple calculated throws to get to the jugs before topping out. Aside from general sloper-ness of the ledges, holds are solid. 

Most overhanging route at the boulder field. Sit start on a left hand crimp and right hand decent ledge. Move up and left towards a slopey ledge, find the hidden side pull, then rocket towards the top of the rock. Top out with a funky but easy mantle.

 I consider the jugs up and left to be off route.

Stand start on high left and right side pulls. Squeeze to get your feet established on good holds, then bump up to sloper jugs. Trend towards the middle of the overhang then perform a funky yet tame mantle to get the top. 

This is a great problem to start on for warmups or to teach people new to climbing outside how to top out. It's a short, fairly straight forward route that's started by matching on a deep ridgeline just to the right of a big vertical crevasse in the boulder closest to the road. Holds are essentially ladder-esque until topping out, and climbers can then walk down to the lower side of the boulder.

SDS on a very hollow bulge with decent sidepulls. Pull yourself up to a good crumbly crimp, then launch up and right to a giant jug. Get your feet up then mantle the mossy slopey topout.

Start just to the left of the square hold and move right, following the ore line. Throw hard out right (watch the tree) and go around arete, topping out at outcropping. Check the pockets for spiders first, and try not to disturb nature.

One of the taller problems out in Trussville. Stand start the slab on two crimpy edges and work your way up to a hidden bowl with an excellent juggy edge. Located on the same boulder as Rain Delay, but on the far right. 

Sit start on slopey jugs and move up and right to nubs. Move around to other edge of boulder to finish the traverse.

Sitt start on uncharacteristically solid crimps then rocket to a decent sloper. From here use your personal beta to get above the bulge, there’s a horrible right hand slopey side pull that I’m pretty sure is required. From here grab a good side crimp then top out on the highest point. 

Same start as Biggish Throws and Somewhat Larger Throw, but move up and slightly right to use slopers instead of jugs. Hands should be almost completely flat the entire time. 

Sit start just left of the cove with right hand on a side pull jug and left hand in a low 4 finger pocket. Pull up to a thin horizontal rail, match, then reset feet and reach up to jugs. Top out just to the left of the cove; holds used in Cove Out Right are off. 

This crag is a blank slate! A group of five boulders in the city of Trussville's sports complex. This area - owned by Trussville - was completed in late 2017 and was worked on by the Access Fund and the Southeastern Climbers Coalition. Difficulty of routes and possible problems vary from beginner to advanced. All boulders, which are relatively close together and in a forested part of the sports complex, have easy access. The boulders do fall along a disc golf course, so be advised of frisbees and other groups. Brushes are good to have to brush off dirt and moss since the crag is not super well established.
