Sit start with both hands on obvious edge and up via slopes and crimps to a good finishing jug. Watch the spikey block underneath!

FA: SB, 2001

Boulder
V4 Left Cocky

Starts standing with 2 sloping underclings, (big one for LH and small one on arete for RH). Brutal move to stand up and then slap up RH arete. A little easier if you start off the block.

FA: MS, 2000

Boulder
V5 Almost a Deadpoint, Not Quite a Dyno

Slightly contrived problem tackling the face between 'Left Cocky' and 'Vertical Therapy'. Doesn't use either arete and finishes via the great jug at the top. Slopey holds to the top.

Face and vague arete, with improving LH sidepulls, finishing via the great jug.

Boulder
V3 Bear Huggies

Obvious bear hug arête, like holding refrigerator block.

FA: MS, 2000

Boulder

Super classic sit start to 'Bear Huggies' and very pleasant for the grade. A Harvey's Marbles must do!

A short cruisy face and arête with some nice scoops.

V0 The Horn

A nice beginner problem that can be started from numerous holds and heights, but it's best started low off on opposing sidepulls.

Boulder
V5 Pickled

V3 Fermenter

Hard slab with some very technical footwork. Start from lowest level.

From small crimps move up to good edge and then chunky flake.

Boulder

Face and arete with a long floaty dynamic crux. The small block directly below the arete is in for feet at the start.

Slab starting from ground level L of small block, then moving out R.

Just R of 'Soft Pockets', on the blank looking wall. Hard move to pop to a multitude of mono's (swing start ok) and then to up via a slightly better micro-pocket!

FA: Live Lundemo, 2002

Boulder
V5 Brutality

The blocky arête between 'Live's Pockets' and 'Soft Pockets'. Up via a very cool RH pinch at the crux.

FA: SB, 2003
