| 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. |
| 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 |
| 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.
FA: Aaron Bopp |
| Choosey Moms Choose Jif | V4 | - | A low sit start on a big ledge. Immediately bust to the right, mantle and go straight up. |
| Daymares | V4 | - | This line lies on the right side of the face of the boulder. Start matched on cool little juggy crimp and head up the face using crimps and using the slopey right arête. |
| Diamond | V4 | - | The centre and best line climbs from a kind of sit start on small crimps up the middle. Ledges and crimps lead to a committing last move to the lip.
FA: Brendan Baars |
| Huffle Puff | V4 | - | On the Sorting Hat Boulder in the Nightmare Zone. Left hand start on the undercling of the arête, right hand on the crimpy triangle. Stand start. Tech your way straight up and top out! |
| Jam The Berry | V4 | - | The first climb to the right of the arête. The start isn't obvious. Stand start with your left hand on a high sloper and for your right hand, a slimper down and right. The foothold used in the FA is the starting ledge for Choosey Mom's Choose JIF. A hard crux move, in the beginning, leads to easier terrain above. |
| Lost Corner | V4 | - | Lost corner is a low sit start. Start matched and work up through a good crimp and cool holds on the corner feature to a nice heel rock over top out.
