Right Boulder

A small pleasant boulder with fun problems.

1. Meatloaf SDS V3 star

Start sitting under corner, scrunchy move over bulge and topout up the slab.

2. Keith probablly did it SDS V3 star

Starting sitting on good edges below jug, grab jug and big move to sloper around bulge to the right.

3. Loose Shoes SDS V4 star

Begin far right on a jug and traverse left to link into Billiards. A fun traverse that requires good footwork and endurance. 😄

4. Billiards SDS V4 star

Begin on a large flat hold. Make a long move to a sloper, then traverse the lip left to top out at the high point. A challenging problem with reachy moves and a satisfying finish. 🙌

5. Gluten Free SDS V4 star

Begin on a low big flake. Climb up to the slopey lip and over the bulge. Tricky, especially from a full sit. A problem that tests your ability to adjust positions and maintain tension.

6. Tacky V5 star

Begin on high slopers, with feet on micro crystals. Make a big move to the top! Very temperature-dependent - if this one feels easy, pack up immediately and head to your project. A problem sensitive to conditions but rewarding when it all comes together. ☀️

7. Wup SDS V0 star

Start low on a horizontal. This problem is good as a descent but not really worth climbing on its own. A useful downclimb for the area. ⬇️

Left Boulder

Mainly turds.

8. Vedges SDS V3 star

Start on the huge jug, then climb up the prow. Trickier than it looks, this problem will require some problem-solving and technique. 🧩

9. Julien's Way SDS V3 star

Start with left hand side pull, right hand jug on Vedges. Climb the scooped face using the arête. An insult to the turd icon, this problem might surprise you with its enjoyable movement. 😅

10. Just Read the Instructions SDS V4 star

Left hand crimp, right hand tiny side pull. Hard start, then climb up edges. A problem with a challenging start that leads to satisfying progress on the edges. 💪

11. Henhouse Syndrome SDS V7 star

Start with left hand on the "good" crimp, right hand awful gaston, stand up, grab the good hold, and enjoy the victory lap. A problem that rewards perseverance and commitment. 🎖️

12. The Runaround SDS V8 star

Hard start with right hand crimp, left hand undercling. Bust to the top. Definitely a turd, but gets a star for the implausible vision for the FA. 🌟 (FA Ghislain Losier)
