★ Boiled eggs
On the back side of the Boulder is one problem so far. Start on the far left in front of the other small "back breaker" Boulder. Sit start on the right trending rail- matched. Pull hard with good feet. Worth having two spotters on the Boulder behind. FA: nico watson, Jimmy Blackhall & Ignacio Alveal, Mar 2016 | V2 | 3m | |||||
| 2 |
★★★ Hard Boiled
Sit start on the vertical sidepull, move up and slightly right on crimps, finish straight up. FA: Evan Waugh, 23 Jun 2020 | V5 | ||||||
| 3 |
★★ Soft Boiled
Start as for Hard Boiled (sit start on vertical edge right of Boiled Eggs), move right through crimps and continue right through edges to top out right. May be hard for grade for those with shorter wingspan. FA: Evan Waugh, 23 Jun 2020 | V4 | ||||||
| 4 |
★★ Yellowstreak
The Direct line up the Yellow and white streak. Stand-Starts with the two side pulls straight up to either the small right crimp or the broken textured sloppers. Look for the 2 or 3 finger crimp (crux). Big moves and a technical high finish. FA: Takeshi Abe, Jimmy Blackhall & Stephen Andrew, Jun 2016 | V5 | 4m | |||||
| 5 |
★★ Hoodoo
Start next to Whitestreak, climb directly up the dark streak. Big moves to edges. FA: Evan Waugh Set: Nico Watson & Jimmy Blackhall | V5 | 5m | |||||
| 6 |
V2
The problem to the left of the front. Has the other broken boulders as a base. Not really a recommended route but who's to say what some enjoy. Has a fun move from the V shaped slopery pinch up to the slopery/crimp U shaped. | V2 | 4m | |||||

★ The arete
Climb the far right arete, sit start facing behind the boulder. Not recommended with a back breaking fall. V1 if you stand start on the jug | V2 | 5m | |||||
| 8 |
★ Daddy long legs
Sit start matched on the crimp. Big move to gaston/sidepull and now start slapping and Heel hooking up the left side of the arete (far right line on main wall). Big move to an edge, big slap out right to sloper/sidepull on arete.. The top out is desperate as it definitely feels like a high ball- make sure your spotter Is aware. A technical, sequential problem for sure. A stand start goes at the same grade. FA: Jimmy Blackhall, 2016 | V4 | 4m | |||||
| 9 |
★★ Hoodoo Traverse
Start on the Big Side pull pinch far right with one foot around the right of the arete and one on the front face. A technical powerful problem utilizing the V-shaped hold as the crux and a big move up the v2. Finishes up the v2. FA: Takeshi Abe, Jun 2016 | V6 | 4m | |||||
