    615 DollarsV5-
    Start by climbing the sloper ledges up to meet the crux in the middle of the boulder. Figure out a high left foot or stretch and grab a crimp. Finish up on easier terrain. The first boulder encountered from the trail. Obvious vert wall. FA: Aaron Bopp
    Barn Door BabyV5-
    To the left of Lost Corner on the Magic Mushroom boulder. Start span from the left arête to a far sloping side pull. Find a good heel and slap up to good holds to top out. Shorter climbers will have to get very creative. FA: Thomas Piche

    Eat This ScrollV5-
    A dihedral delight. Start standing with your hands wide at the base of the dihedral. Master your way up the open book using any beta or body part available. FA: Aaron Bopp
    FlangeV5-
    TBD
    Loud and ProwdV5-
    A sit start with opposing side pulls, make a hard move up to a pinch and top out the prow. It's a powerful mini compression block. To the left of Sunday School. Obvious Arête.
    Magic MushroomV5-
    On the Magic Mushroom boulder to the right of Lost Corner. Stand start on the arête and using small face holds. Climb the slab to a very committing move to the top of the roof. Many pads will help. FA: Thomas Piche
    Maple LeafV5-
    Are you a crimp master and love small feet? This is for you! Without doubt a cool-looking boulder. The only reason it gets downgraded is because it is slightly an eliminate but such a cool climb on minuscule crimps and tiny, tiny feet. The eliminate part only comes into play during the first couple moves. The start hold is located by the right arête and due to the shape of the boulder you can grab the right "part of the leaf". But as soon as you make a couple moves using the obvious crimps, It's full face climbing! FA: Aaron Bopp 2019
    NighthawkV5-
    Intro to compression. Start on a low vertical rail for the right and incut notch for the left. Slap left to get to the arete and squeeze your way to the top. Hard start. FA: Charlie Hall
    Performance AnxietyV5-
    Start low on a good jug. Make a big move up and left. Get your heel hooking on to reach a bad crimp. Either be insanely strong and match the crimp or bump your right hand to a sloper dish right below the lip. Figure out your feet and top out. FA: Chris Myers
    Put Me In CoachV5-
    Start on in-cut edge (left) and right hand on a low crimp by the arête (right). Make a hard first move right hand and work up the arête to reach another edge. Bust to the lip or use a toe hook out left. A difficult mantle top-out awaits you. FA: Brendan Baars
    Sarissa MasteryV5-
    Start 8 feet right of Open the Iliad. FA: Aaron Bopp
    SilhouetteV5-
    Slab climbing cannot get much better than this. Start low on your choice of holds and make fancy footwork to reach opposing sidepull crimps. Step your way up and launch for a decent rail right below the lip. Scary and proud this send will be. Photos and video do not do this boulder justice in beauty or size. FA: Aaron Bopp
    Time for WarV5-
    A boulder problem that needed to be climbed. Stand start with the left hand on a good ledge above your head and right hand on the undercling ledge below it. Campus or try to paste a foot to move up and right, utilizing lots of footwork. Decent holds lead to a committing left heel hook for a top-out. FA: Brendan Baars
