FA: Nathan Brand, 2016

Boulder
Campsite Area Boulders Dump Truck
{US} V5 Dump Truck

FA: Ian Thorpe, 30 Mar 2020

Boulder
Campsite Area Boulders Little House on the Prarie
V1 Treehugger

Starts in the juggy crack on the left, follows the crack up right to the dihedral and goes straight up. A really nice climb with an airy top out. The small tree in the middle of the line is off!

FA: Andrew Andress

Boulder
V3 Laura

Far right of the boulder. Sit start at the bottom of the obvious rail, and move up and right using a combo of powerful moves and heel hook trickery. Mantle up and over onto the slab, and walk up to finish.

FA: Andrew Andress

Boulder

Up the face on the left side of the boulder next to Treehugger.

FA: Michele Leone

Boulder
V4 Wood Stove

Up the middle of the boulder, traverse left on crimps, then same top out as Treehugger

FA: Nathan Brand

Boulder
{US} V1 Donovan McSlabb

Straight up the slab on pebbles to the top. Avoid arete on right and large feature on left (slab only pure and simple)

FA: Andrew Andress

Boulder
Campsite Area Boulders Night Crawler
{US} V6 Back Bone

Sit-down start on good rail, moves up the rail and over the lip. Avoid dabbing on the tree that is directly under you.

On the boulder with a tree in front of it just to the right of Nightcrawler.

FA: Lucho birkner, 29 Jan 2023

Boulder
{US} V6 Night Crawler

Sit-down start on the arete, left hand on good side pull and right hand on lowest crimp, starts up the arete and then takes a big swing to the face of the overhang with a very tricky mantle to the top. A true Lukenya test-piece.

FA: Nathan Brand (stolen from Andrew Andress), 1 Feb 2017

Boulder
{US} V3 Creepie-crawlie

Surprisingly fun, to the left of Nightcrawler. Sit-start on the lowest handholds; hard first couple of moves to get stood up, then easy up to the top.

FA: Lucho birkner, 29 Jan 2023

Boulder
Campsite Area Boulders Oversized Block
V4 Kenyan Cowgirl

Highball. Crouch start below and right of the horizontal crack on a pinch and an edge, moves left following the crack and then goes straight up.

FA: Henrick Reuhkala

Boulder
Campsite Area Boulders The Roost
V2 Chickenhead

Sit-down start matched on really nice jug, moves left and up with a big move to a nice edge up at the lip. One of Lukenya's best!

FA: Andew Andress

Boulder
V3 Rooster Tail

Sit-down start on the same jug as Chicken Head, moves right and up. (Very tensiony for shorter climbers and probably a full grade harder due to the heinous intermediate side-pull crimp before the jug near the top.)

FA: Andew Andress

Boulder
V4 Kuku Kienyeji

Stand start on the left side of the boulder, traverse across the middle of the face, and finish up the same moves as Rooster Tail. Pumpy!

FA: Andew Andress

Boulder
{US} V4 Wet fry chicken

A fun and delicate climb up the left of the boulder. Start on same holds as for Kuku kienyeji, then move left and up using small holds and a sidepull to the top, always staying left of Chicken head holds. A good spot is needed to protect from the tree behind.

FA: Sven van Enckevort, 12 Mar 2022

Boulder
{US} V7 Polla Gol

Right of Rooster Tail. Sit-start on the lowest possible holds. Very hard first move (crux), to get to a better hold out left. Straight up from there.

FA: Lucho birkner, 29 Jan 2023

Boulder
Campsite Area Boulders The Wave
V2 Ripple

Highball. Stand start and go straight up the face. A really nice technical boulder problem. Avoid using boulder on the right, though it could possibly be a V0 variation if used.

FA: Nathan Brand

Boulder
Nathan's Project

On the face round the side from Ripple - unclimbed VHard project. Start on obvious holds to the right of the far left arete and climb small crimps to a big move and an easy topout.

Up the boulder using the feature that looks like a satellite dish.

FA: Andrew Andress, 2016

Boulder
{US} V1 Fish in Space

Stand-start on the left side of the boulder, just right of a tree. Start with both hands on the arete and feet below, and work your way up to the highest point of the boulder and top out there (just before joining Searching for UFOs). Useful to have a friend to hold tree branches out of the way.

FA: Fish Shah, 4 Mar 2023

Boulder
{US} V2 Searching for UFOs

SIt-start to the left of Satelitte Dish, with left hand on good crimp on low rail and right hand on a low gaston crimp. Hard first move to stand up and reach a diagonal crimp up and right. Easier to the top. Useful to have a friend hold branches out of the way.

FA: Ian Thorpe, 5 Mar 2023

Boulder
Campsite Area Boulders Rookie Rock
VB Credit Card Warm-up

This is the obvious easiest line on the boulder. It's juggy all the way up and easily doable for most climbers in flip flops.

FA: Probably a Maasai sheperd

Boulder
V2 Ice Cube

Sit-down start with left hand on rail and right on low crimp, moves up the short problem using slopey compression and crimps. It's a nice lowball.

FA: Andrew Andress

Boulder

Campsite Area Boulders Razorback
{US} V5 Razorblade

Start low in the cave on a crimp rail and up to bigger jug (left of razorback start holds). Up and left the steep face on small crimps, avoiding any of the larger razorback holds to the right. Join razorback for the topout only. Would be 3* if not a bit of an eliminate!

FA: Livio van Enckevort

Boulder 5m
{US} V4 Razorback

Sit start on low rail. Make big move up to the crimp and commit to the top out.

FA: Nathan Brand

FA: Nathan Brand

Boulder
{US} V3 Angelina

Nice warmup for the other two, with an interesting topout. Sit-start on the obvious hold on the right of the boulder, going to another good hold with quite a big move, then up again. Keep your nerve for the topout, the holds are there. Spotter should jump on top of the boulderer if they fall to avoid tumbling down the rock behind!

FA: Andrew Andress, 1 May 2017

Boulder
{US} V4 Social Distancing

Beautiful line going up the arete, avoiding Razorback holds until the jug for the topout. Sit start low to the left of the arete, come round to the right of it to a good crimp, then a big move up the slanting crack. Keep it together and go for the finishing jug before the same topout as Razorback.

FA: John Shunk, 19 Mar 2020

Boulder
Campsite Area Boulders Golden Nugget
{US} V4 Golden Nugget

Crouch start in full compression. Climb the fridge trending left to the top out.

Takes the proud south-facing face and the two aretes. Start with a right hand on the arete on the rigth and a left on a crimp in the centre of the face. Work your way up with compression magic. Spotter for the FA was tied into a rope anchored on a nearby tree to avoid a tumble down the cliff below and protect the climber!

FA: Nathan Brand, 4 Aug 2017

Boulder
Campsite Area Boulders Upper Pleistocene Cranial Remains
First ascentionist gets to name

Take the overhanging crack from right to left. Still unclimbed.

BoulderProject
Campsite Area Boulders Pick your poison
{US} V5 Pick your poison

Start with right hand on good crimp and left on your choice of bad holds lower down. Pick between two poor choices of of foot beta and make two moves to the lip and top out. The sit-start from the two lowest crimps remains to be done.

FA: Logan Kennedy, 12 Mar 2022

Boulder
Campsite Area Boulders Abstract Hyrax

Boulder
{US} V2/3 Touching cotton

FA: Luca van Enckevort, 9 Oct 2022

Boulder
Nemesis Area Boulders Roof Boulder 1
{US} V3 Cave Man

The firs ascent was done onsight, no crash pads, no shoes, no chalk, no warmup. A true spur of the moment ascent. Climb straight up from a sharp rail by way of one big move and a series of smaller holds lead to the topout.

Boulder
{US} V0 TBD2

Sit start, both hands in the crack. Up the crack and left onto the half-way ledge. Straight up from there.

Boulder
V3 The jammings are coming

Interesting problem with potential for varying jams and holds. Low sit start to establish, avoiding the boulder to left for whole problem, otherwise quality and difficulty is massively compromised.

Boulder
{US} V3 Witness the Weakness

Crouch start with both hands in the big crack, on the left. Go straight up from there, avoiding Weakness Protection Programme which is further right.

FA: Eric Ducroix, 2 Apr 2017

FA: Livio van Enckevort, 9 Apr 2023

Boulder
Nemesis Area Boulders Barabara Blues
