The closest boulder to the stairs that lead down to the beach.

Start with a right foot and right hand down. Shift your weight onto your right foot and get a left hand over to a sloping crimp. Get the left foot onto the start and move the right foot way out to smear onto a tiny foothold. Get the right hand out, trying to get around the corner onto a pebble in the pink quartz. You will then flag the left foot as you shift your weight right. Smear the left foot where your right foot was and get the right foot around the corner and smeared down. Try to match the left hand with the right before finishing with the right hand on the right edge.

This is the closest small boulder to the stairs leading down to the beach.

Start at the right end of the boulder (facing the stairs down to the beach). Your feet will be scissored on the slanted ledges available with a left hand on a small handpull. Shift your weight left, moving the right hand across to a handpull in the middle. Then get both feet onto the left foot start. Reach your right hand over to smear on the pink quartz pebbles. Once balanced, get the left foot around the middle to smear on the lower quartz area. Your left hand will move over to a small crimp in the white striations. Shift all your weight left, flagging the right foot, smearing the right hand as needed. Once you can match feet and hands, get your left foot over to a better smearing spot further down near the finish. Try to then match feet and get both hands to the finish.
