South facing and climbs tend to be desperate and temp dependant for the grade. Best in shoulder seasons, but if temps are good, there are better places to climb. A pleasant spot for summer beach climbing at dawn and dusk.

Evil Twins Cluster

The first two small boulders encounted when approaching Prospect

1. Corsican Brothers V0 star

Start with hands in the crack below or underclinging the lip, then scale the arête. Crux challenge: avoid dabbing on the boulder to your right! 💃

Undercling with both hands and climb straight up – this is the finest climb Prospect has to offer! 🌟

Conquer the left arête like a pro!

8. Sean's Problem SDS V1 star

Sit start as for Winnebago Etiquette, then venture left, questioning your choices... 🤔

9. Winnebago Etiquette SDS V4 star

Sit start the bulge, and slap along the featureless lip to the boulder's far end. Not the prettiest, but it's a climb! Note: a block was moved to obstruct this problem in 2022. 🚧

Pond Scum Boulder

A permanent puddle of green ooze underneath the landing

10. Pond Scum V4 star

Start with left hand on a good crimp flake, right hand on a thin seam. Dyno to the lip – pack a tarp and extra skin for this one! 🚀

Match on the pinch in front of your face, get those feet up high, and slap the lip for a thrilling crux rolling topout! 🌊

15. Center Deck SDS V3 star

Challenge yourself with a tough sit start using tiny footholds. Scale the face on thin holds! 💪

16. Middle Deck SDS V1 star

Left hand in the crack, climb up! Use the big block for a foot at your own discretion – it adds a 'standing on the ground' feel! 🌎

Face climbing on the highest wall in Prospect

Kick off with left hand in crack, right on the arête. Move up using arête and face holds around the corner for a satisfying topout! 🎉

17. Center Toe Jam V4 star

Start on huge holds in the roof's middle, reach out to the vertical seam at the lip, and climb straight up like a champ! 💪

18. Left Toe Jam V3 star

Begin under the roof to the left, climb up to the ledge using big holds (excluding the giant foot ledge), then tackle the contrived crux top-out up the thin seam, all while ignoring the easy exits on either side! A little sit start adds a touch of spice. 🌶️

19 - 29. Miscellaneous V0 star

Check out 10 more problems listed in Ghislain's Halifax Bouldering on the short walls and features left of the Toe Jam overhang. They're indistinct and below modern boulder problem standards, but worth a mention for historical interest. 📜
