Sit start and move past cruxes left to gain good holds. From there, one can go straight up on lower quality rock (V7+) or head back right and up on great rock (makes it a pumpy V8+). It is recommended on cold, dry, winter days.

The Zoller Bulge

Dihedral [Bulge Boulder]

Green Streak

Warm-up

Sage

Heel or No Deal

Well...climb the dirty dihedral up and left.

This nice line climbs up the obvious green streak on the boulder's left side. Start in deep hole with right hand, and use the good edge below that with your left, find the good left heel hook to pull off. Cross over left on small, but bomber crimps to the jugs up top.  Was this one overlooked or what?  The excellent hand traverse into this one is a bonus pump, start that in the dihedral 15 ft. right and use the blocks below for feet, finish up green streak.

On the far right side of the boulder is a rectangular block system at waist height, double up on this slopey feature and pull through a crimp to the top. The sequence pulling over writes like a book.  Easiest route on the boulder. The sit start in the cave to this is very direct and undone as far as I know.  A bit dirty

Right of the obvious big bulge problem and left of the warm-up is a gorgeous independent line straight up.  starts on a downsloping 10+ finger edge. campus through to crimps above to finish on a beautiful edge at lip.  Very hard problem to start, probably harder than V4.  I also start this problem from the block system 10 ft. right that is the start to the warm-up.  Do a taxing punch left, with or without an intermediate, Heel-hand match to situate.  Thing swing feet out left to downsloping edge and hit the lip. That is the 3 in my 3/4 grading.  Both are very fun.

Start matched on an obvious jug under the bulging overhang.  Get your feet off the block on the ground and reach up right for a nice little pinch.  Using a heel-toe in the starting hold reach high for a jug.  This move is the crux and for some, it would be a deal breaker without the heel hook....  Mantle over the harder-than-it-looks topout.
