Routes
| Name | Grade ↑ | Star rating | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Antrophy | V2 | - | A hard start leads to delicate smearing on bad feet to reach a seam near the top of the boulder.
FA: Aaron Bopp |
| Army Ant | V2 | - | This climb is on the north side of the ant boulder, and is burlier than the other slabby climbs on this massive boulder.
FA: Charlie Hall |
| Child’s Play | V2 | - | Start on the two edges at the same height as each other just on opposite sides of the arête. Climb up the slab using decent holds. An easy top-out awaits you.
FA: Chris Myers |
| Gaugamela | V2 | - | Tricky start on the blunt face leading to a committing top.
FA: Steve Taylor |
| Gold Rush | V2 | - | On the Sunday School boulder opposite the climb What Bugs. Stand start stemming using a right facing side pull and a crimp. Climb through good holds to top out.
FA: Thoma Piche |
| No Stairway | V2 | - | This is a slabby line on the north side of the Waynes World Boulder. Which is one of the first boulders as you enter the nightmare zone. Not far from ant boulder. Just left/ west by maybe 100’.
FA: Danny Plonka |
| Pro Gym Climber | V2 | - | Climb the cool-looking water-grooved slab on the right side but left of the arête.
FA: Aaron Bopp |
| Snail Trail | V2 | - | On the back of the shell of the Snail boulder right of Slow Bro. Using a right side pull and good feet slap for the top and mantle the top.
FA: Thomas Piche |
| Threat Level Midnight | V2 | - | A cool-looking boulder that has interesting roof-like moves. Start as low as possible on the sloper ledge. Make your way around the half moon using two key holds. Top out on the arête.
FA: Brendan Baars |
| Tunnel Vision | V2 | - | Start at the bottom of the tunnel with one hand on the arête to the left and the other on the vertical edge to the right.
FA: Linda Yang |
| Volunteer Mountaineer | V2 | - | Just right of the scoop. Climb straight up.
FA: Aaron Bopp |
| Wayne Stepping | V2 | - | Climb the arête right of Party on Garth. |
| Wonder Bread | V2 | - | Starts low on ledges on the far right side of the boulder and follows the right side to the top. |
| Antics | V3 | - | An odd low start on crimps, get a good right foot and rock onto it. Top out on Antagonist. A little awkward and contrived.
FA: Aaron Bopp |
| Beaver Research | V3 | - | Climb the left arête starting on the left side of it. Slopers and crimps lead to a good top-out.
