Sit start on the obvious finger lock and scrunchy feet. Make a couple heinous moves into the stand start (~5.11a on its own)

May have been done before, please correct me if so.

Vomitorium Crank

Leap off the soloflex boulder and latch onto the prominent knob on the adjacent boulder. Hauling yourself onto the knob is the crux

A slanting offwidth rising out of the bushes. Wide at the bottom, then a mantle to top out.

Start with a high reach to a sloper knob, then move straight up to the lip.

Definitely not the prettiest mantle at Woodson, but still worth a shot.

A burly crank with overhanging start. On the east wall of the vomitorium

This climbs the obvious right side of the face, while always keeping the right hand on the corner/arete.

WEAR PANTS! This climb is good training for doing chimneys. The start is akward but once you are in the chimney the climbing is good and there are opportunities for pro. The crux is exiting the chimney onto a small ledge. The route finishes with a low angle hand crack. If you top rope this climb use a directional in the hand crack.

Next step after Marshmallow Tower 10c. Start on the north side of the formation and do some awkward chimney moves between the two boulders to gain the horizontal crack, place a couple pieces where you can and then bust some cruxy moves around the corner on slopers to gain the horizontal finger crack. Bad fall here, no pro through the crux- make sure you have a good belayer, a crashpad might also be a good idea.

I tried this thing about 2 years ago and it seemed impossible, but it's much easier once you figure out the secret knee bar beta. The crux is 5.11 and the finger crack is 5.10+. Falling mid crux isn't that bad, just be ready to swing into the rocks!

This low angled face has a start that is deceptively difficult if climbed in an obvious direct fashion.  A small incut for the fingers, with two tough smears gets one up to another shallow incut.  A couple more moves to the top.

Super cool Fang-shaped feature hanging out of a giant broken boulder.  This huge piece somehow got stuck (somewhat recently), and floats a foot off of the ground!  Start with good foothold at bottom of the fang, left toehook / right heelhooks get you up onto the arête, good holds on each side to top out.  (harder Crack variation on left side)

On the west side of Tower Two you will see a crack. The start is a large opening with a stair like formation for getting into the crack. The start is a little akward for 5.7 (look for the hold in the horizontal crack to the right)The climb takes good pro and is a good route for a begining leader.

Thin fingers up the underside of this perfectly rounded boulder problem with nothing for the feet, less an initial heelhook.  This climb appears more probable than it is, and is a short but stout boulder problem/TR.

Super Edge East

AKA Television Screen North-East Arete, Right

This climbs

the right side of

the 'Television Screen' north-east arete.

The easier, north side of the Television Sets NE arete is less steep and more often done.

It is short but quite physical. Grab the arete and crank. Not much for feet.

This is the obvious looking tower just behind and left of Tower 2.  Both of these classic routes (left and right) start on the backside, and realistically must be lead (although years ago after much consternation we swung the rope over and batman'd up one side to set up a TR).  Going up and right (facing east)is definitely the easier of the two, with the left (facing west) taking a palmy, minimal feet traverse with dubious pro to a dead vertical crack (probably 5.11a).

This is one of only a handfull of easy and safe boulder problems at Woodson.  It is a left slanting hand crack, finishing with a nice jug/face move.

Obvious hand crack. Climb the crack between the thick flake and the rock to hand holds above. There is also a 5.8 face to the right of the crack and a mantle way around to the left of the crack. A good warm up boulder.

Classic edging and slab climbing up the smooth concave face.  A little tall but the holds get better as you move higher.

This face climb starts off using small knobs, easing up to some nice smearing to the top.  Bolts are on the top, but one has to climb the route to get at them.

A great Woodson face climb on nice features. Move through slopers to a good edge, then lockoff to the lip. Originally given the rating of B1.

Tower Two face is a top rop problem on the face to the right of the crack. This is a fun climb easy for the grade. Follow the natural holds going up the face. A good climb to work on after leading the chimney and the crack.

Super thin friction edging/friction problem

Only takes a couple of moves.  Probably not worth spending much time on, although there are a few different mantel problems on this same boulder.

The following post also appeared in the Uncertainty Principle thread but is reposted here because the TV Screen Center is a well known long standing Woodson problem: It was an almost perfect day late in the afternoon at Woodson today. The temps went quite cool and the rock was still clean after last week's rain. Late in the afternoon John Weinberg (Johannsolo) completed the long standing problem in the center of the TV Screen. The problem, first tried by Kevin Powell in the mid 80's was previously known under the working name of "The Emergency Broadcast System". Based on the lack of any response to previous queries on this forum regarding any known ascents, coupled with various references that refer to the center problem being "V?", it is assumed that this is the first known (verified) ascent of the problem. HDTV V6. The V6 rating was felt to be appropriate because the problem was similar in nature and difficulty to that of problems in several other bouldering areas as well as the crux moves on routes at Suicide (Idyllwild).

Two quality mantles on the backside of the Vomitorium.

The left line starts on two sloper knobs with bad feet. Maybe the harder of the two. Start static!

The right line starts on decent edges with a jug foot.
