The crux is in your head, a fall from the wrong spot on this problem could definitely break a leg. Thin climbing on the arete, small edges and knobs.

Into Thin Air

When sent this will be one of the hardest and best lines at Sheep Nose. I know several individuals who have made it about half way up the face to a point a little to the right of the shallow scoop where it appears you have to make a huge move up and left to a sidepull and somehow use it.

Climb the scooped out section of the face. Pressing up into some underclings then moving out to slopers above. Crux is matching the undercling and moving out of it.

Very balancy and odd problem, the crux is probably the one handed deadpoint to the good edge just below the lip with your right hand. Start by getting onto the rail using a very thing right hand undercling and something jizzy for your left, then inch your feet as far right as you can, make the onehanded move and cross to the top.

This is the problem that is being referred to as the middle problem in the photos. The crux is a committing deadpoint/jump near the top. Some say it's better than

Big Air

, but

Big Air

was the first problem on the boulder.

Big Air is located on the right arete of the west face. Sit start on the arete. Powerful moves lead to better holds off the deck. It is probably V5 by modern standards.

This is the downclimb but a makes a good little problem in its own. Nice rounded edges.

This problem is located to the right of "little air" on the backside of the Air Jordan Boulder.  From a stand start on crimps step up to an intermediate crimp and deadpoint the to lip.  I found a toe scum useful.  Ok for another warmup.

Great technical face climbing, good flexability in the legs can make this problem easier.

Movement is pretty continuous, but the most committing move is the pop for the top off of a left hand sidepull/undercling and a very sharp right handed crimp that can be difficult to see, reach right up to an edge a little below the lip and go again to the top.
