| Ruby | V3 | - | Same start as Diamond but moving left and a couple moves.
FA: Brendan Baars |
| Seedless | V3 | - | Starts with both hands on the obvious scoop feature on the left side of the arête. Use the arête and an undercling to the left of the arête to establish yourself and keep moving. |
| Storm Cell | V3 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Sit start with opposing sidepull crimps. Use intermediates or make a big move to a good hold. Topout. |
| They All Can't Be Gold | V3 | - | Start with left hand on a good sidepull and right hand pressing. Figure out how to top out using the sloping crimp above and the left slab.
Located on the backside of Slug Boulder. |
| Toad Stool | V3 | - | Toad Stool lies just to the right of the arête. Go straight up the slab and directly over the bulgy roof. Reach up to better than expected holds for a hero top out.
FA: Danny Plonka |
| Undecided | V3 | ⭐⭐⭐ | Start on a crimp rail near head height. Jump or be delicate to the top. |
| Yellow Jacket | V3 | ⭐⭐⭐ | SS low on a side pull and a small ledge, follow the arête to the top. There is a yellow jackets nest on the boulder just to the right of this problem. |
| Brail | V4 | - | On the snail boulder left of Slow Bro. Start with tentative feet. A left hand on a round quartz rock sticking out slightly and right hand on a okay pinch. Slap to the arête try not to barn door before you top out. Techy slab climbers will enjoy this.
FA: Thomas Piche |
| Bucephalus | V4 | - | Pictured bottom right. Start using an undercling and good feet. Make your way up using your imagination into a good stance on a small ledge. Breathe then precariously make your way up using poor feet and poor hands. Gain high feet and reach for the top. If not for the reachiness, this problem would be 5 stars.
