Massive pockets lend themselves to uninspiring climbing. Good for warming up or for a confidence booster if the other problems are shutting you down. There could possibly be a line on the south face of this rock, avoiding the arêtes, which would definitely not be a v0.

Cut Your Teeth

The South Face

Sit start to some decent jugs before working the arêtes to the top. Avoiding the chipped crimpers around to the far right keeps the climbing more consistent and engaging.

A powerful route with a solid arête on the right with slopers and a sharp pocket on the left.

Compression holds on good arêtes with an decent smears and heel hooks. Somewhat continuous which earns a v2 grade. Avoiding the obvious chipped crimps around the right arête (mural side of the rock) is the best way and makes for a much more rewarding climb.

Balance is key. Sit start on the right side and work up through a couple v3 moves to a decent stance under the small overhang, then its small edges, and tiny slopers to the top. The arêtes are there but it is a better climb if you don't use them.

Three limestone rocks stood on end to make a "solar calendar" in Riverside park. Between 15-20 feet  tall makes for some interesting almost highball problems. Most of the better problems involve eliminating the obvious "bear hug" approach and limiting yourself to using the face holds. Its not exactly the purest bouldering experience in the world but not bad for being in the middle of Wichita.
