Grade Route

This is the biggest boulder around the corner.

Start with a left foot on the small ledge and left hand on the sidepull, hanging to the right. Match your right hand with the left on the starting sidepull and move the right too to match with the left on the small starting ledge. Next to the starting sidepull is a small crimp for your right hand. Keep moving a foot over to the left ledge in order to get to the left crimps or go for the left crimps first. While on the left crimps get both feet on the ledge. Get your feet up as high as possible and get both hands on the sidepulls. Heel hook with the left foot and top off by standing up.

This route is on the good large boulder, in the middle.

Use the left and right sidepulls as you work your feet up, shifting your weight from side to side until you top off

This is the big boulder around the corner, using the edge closest to the water (has darker colored rock).

Start with both feet on the right foot ledge and tuck yourself against the boulder. Using the small right and left hand crimps, get a foot or two over to the left wide foot ledge. Throw a right hand up to the bump and quickly grab the upper ledge. Get your feet up as much as possible on the wide foot ledge and get a left hand to the bump. Finish by topping off, using the right foot to help push up and avoiding using the left foot on the good footholds.
