On the south side of the boulder is an obvious right-facing dihedral. Sit start, lieback to a good hold, and top out. Kind of hard and sharp for a comfortable warmup.

Personally I thought this was a better warmup than the warmup corner (but you should still do both!) On the left side of the north face, start on a jug at arm's length and traverse right and slightly up with jugs on the rail. There is a sit start beginning on the undercling of the

, hard and reachy moves join the starting jug of the traverse.

Start on the large positive undercling on the left side of the boulder and crimp your way up the short prow.  Dave did the FA but a foot broke a year later and made the problem harder.

Pull on to a pair of tiny crimps and crank to good holds. It feels much better in cold temperatures. The Capps Face starts the same but goes up and right to terrible holds, that thing seems pretty well into the V-double digits.

A short, but surprisingly fun variation on the north face. On the left side of the north face, grab the start jug for the traverse and lunge up to the good edge on the lip, muckle your feet up and mantel. A sit start on the

Left Graham Arete's

undercling is possible and a few grades harder.

Stand start the left arete off of two high crimps. Sick stand start to a hard problem.

On the uphill side of the boulder is an obvious rounded prow. Start with the left hand on a low fin/sidepull feature and the right on a bad sloper. Slap left to a really bad sloper. Slap right to a small edge. A good rail beckons on the left. This would be much easier with a foothold or two, but fortunately that isn't the case.

Start out straddling the far right corner of the southwest face. Follow the nice rail up left, and then cross the dihedral. Finish by stepping around the far left corner to an easy topout.
