Routes as boulder in California

Harder now due to breaks on the topout holds.

Tricky start, then easy.

Ultra classic traverse from left to right. The best way to get pumped in Joshua Tree. Don’t sit down at the rest for more than thirty seconds!!

The crack on the right side of the small cave on the uphill face of the boulder.

Handy descent for the Pegboard Wall.

The right-most crack on the boulder.

This may be the same problem as previous (Steep face).

Mega classic right of tree on downhill side of the boulder. Reachy stand start and follow the easiest line to the top. Crouch start is (height-dependent) V2.

The obvious layback in the centre of the wall. Sit start is V2.

The pleasant white slab on the left side of the front face of the main rock. Has at least 3 different independent lines, all about the same grade.

Between the Arete and Centre. Sidepulls or crack down right to start, then up through delicate techy feet and shallow edges.

Midnight Lightning is a problem on the Columbia Boulder in Camp 4 of Yosemite National Park. It has been described as the world's most famous bouldering problem.The route had been easily identified by a chalk lightning bolt drawn by John Bachar in 1978 while attempting the problem with John Yablonski and Ron Kauk. In May 2013, the iconic chalk lightning bolt was scrubbed off the face of the boulder. The bolt was re-drawn in the same location a few days later.

A mega classic of the area. Quite tall with a high crux and a nicely placed boulder to break yourself on right in the landing. Bring a few pads and spotters.

Up the shallow corner just left of Overhanging Lieback, using it as needed.

The offwidth crack that can be face climbed.

The thin face in the middle of the uphill side of the boulder.

From the large heuco, can also traverse left on jugs and downclimb the start of Embryonic Journey.

There are numerous classic variants on this panel of rock - ask a local for some pointers!

From the bottom of the diagonal ramp, climb up through the obvious undercling to the top. Watch for poison oak down low.

Take care not to damage the ferns.

The obvious low roof opposite the corridor.

The middle crack up the boulder.

Starts in the bucket and dyno for the lip.

dyno from the big bucket to the lip

Good descent for this part of the cliff.

The very thin crack/seam in a bit of a corner.

The classic introductory Glen Park problem.

Please be gentle with the lower right-hand starting crimp - it has started getting slightly wobbly in recent years. In particular don't try to wobble it, and don't use it as a foothold!

Crimpy face left Unnamed 1.

Start on either side and traverse the face

Up over the little overlap at the right end.

Up the line of jugs on the arete, to a thin top out.

Up the left side of the thin slab to gain the dihedral.

The face right of the offwidth crack.

Sit start the obvious low flake at the left end of the steep wall. Watch for poison oak down low.

The left-most obvious crack, and the widest of the cracks.

Head up the bulgy prow left of the downclimb, with the big chest height heuco. Harder & better if you eliminate the holds in the groove to the right.

The obvious steep slab facing the Mr Magoo boulder. Start on the low rail to the left.

Several variants, including:

• "Flying Kiwi" - take a running start and launch for the top (height dependent grade)
• "No hands" - start in the corner and ascend the slab without using your hands (V2)

While it's possible to go right around Indian Rock, most people start at the very bottom of the path and finish at the top of the top set of stairs (after crossing the Stairway Slabs).

Great route up a crack sloper overhanging top out, don't reach to far left on the top there's not anything better over there.

Slab right of Transportation Crack.

Mega classic. Two bolts on top for top-roping this and the next 3 routes.

Classic laybacking down low. Shame it's so short!

Sit start, left of boulder on good holds. then trend left towards China Doll boulder.

Sit start in the weird pockets, then up the thin right leaning seam to a potentially heart breaking topout mantle. Stand start on crimps is V2.

Same start as False Hueco. Traverse right along the rail until you can top out.

The obvious ripply groove. Deceptive!

Sit start. Crack is off. Take care of block behind.

Ultra classic line featuring super small edges on a vertical aesthetic face. Balance and finger strength will be required

The overhanging face with jugs, then traverse off right, or continue up the easy grey flake, or continue straight up the loose highball black corner (best climbing & shown on the topo). Sit start is V1, and there are numerous variants on the steep lower wall.

From the top of the diagonal ramp, reach straight up to the thin plate at the top. Harder if you're short.

V3 if you stay right topping out.

Up the steep pillar. Harder if you don't use either arete.

Up the diagonal flake, then big move left into Pegboard.

Fun steep jugging.
