1. 1mm V6 star

Grab the giant flake, climb through a series of beautiful of sideways facing crimps, with a crux that requires faith in your footwork!

2. Big Sexy Beast V4 star

An easier way up the face. Start on the mega flake, climb straight up from the second mega jug with a cool balancy rockover pistol squat crux. The top is everything you hope and dream it to be.

3. Shadow of the Past V0 star

A fantastic V0. Start pinching the arete with right hand, tricky feet, then mantle into the giant rail. The rest is a satisfying victory lap as you walk up the amazing rail to gain access to the beautiful vista at the top of Windy Boulder!

4. Tannhäuser Gate V6 star

Start on the good sidepull, work your way up the scooped feature, transition onto the face and finish straight up. Tall and beautiful - easily Nova Scotia's most Aesthetic slab line!

5. Anticipation of A New Lover's Arrival V5 star

Start matched on the crimpy feature. Crux start, into tricky slab and a pleasant high finish in a scoop.

6. Tears in the Rain SDS V6 star

Start sitting under the mini roof. Good crimp for left, seam for right. Pleasant moves on massive jugs, tricky transition to slab. Finish up delicate cystal slab. Top is peasant jug haul.

7. Tears in the Rain Extension SDS V6 star

Start sitting on a rock in the far corner. Good slot for left hand, small crimp for right. Pleasant flowing moves across overhanging jug rail. Finish up delicate cystal slab. Top is peasant jug haul.

8. Anticipation of A New Lover's Arrival Extenstion V5 star

Start sitting on a rock in the far corner. Good slot for left hand, small crimp for right. Pleasant flowing moves across overhanging jug rail. Finish up tricky slab and a pleasant high finish in a scoop.

2. The Ends of Invention Project V-Project star

Much more than a simple extension. This adds an entirely new crux sequence transitionsing between Anticipation and Tanhausers which is the trickiest slab on the whole boulder. Also, Nova Scotia's longest boulder problem by a factor of 2!

10. Will to Infinity V10^*unconfirmed star

Start under the miniroof, move through jugs into burly compression arete sequence. A beautiful line in every way. Aesthetic, Hard, Tall, Powerful, Big moves, Big holds. A king line. (FA David Quinn 2023)

10. Will to Infinity Extension V11^*unconfirmed star

Everything that Will to Infinity offers, turned up to 11. Start in the corner, good left hand, trash right. Extra moves add significant pump going into the crux. (FA David Quinn 2023)

12. Bulge Project V-Project star

Starts double undercling and climbs short bulge. Shortest climb on Windy. Also the hardest. Attempted by the famous (those who know) Tim Doyle.

13. La Vague de Froid V8 star

Start on the lowest jug in the rail. Small moves to get setup for a huge throw. Move through jugs into tricky pistol squat topout. Topout is way less scary than it looks. (FA Ghislain Losier 2006)

14. Walking Shadow V9^*unconfirmed star

Takes 2 pads to flatten landing and reach the start holds. High left side pull and lower left sidepull to start. If you enjoyed greasing off the foot on Whose Counting, you'll love the worse foot crux here. Can link into Big Sexy Beast for reduced difficulty.
