Sit start in the small cave, match the large jug, up the face to the right of the crack without the use of the bottom block

After climbing up from the 'den', walk towards the river with the slope on your right. Where the rock cuts in (look for the white hands), climb down half-way and traverse back to the den. Small crimps and tiny edges are good practice for new boulderers with little fear of injury from a fall (70-80 deg. slope and not a lot of height). End at the corner of the den or continue past 'blank space', exiting top or bottom.

Run up the slope, propelling yourself off the protrusion on the right, catching the crimp on the left. Smear and use the crimps to pull you over the rim at the top.

Climb the cracks in the slanted slab. Don't use the wall to make it more difficult.

Climb the damp vertical wall.

Climb the face using the corner and edges.

At the top on the left. Sit start left of the overhang. On small holds, climb up and over the rounded bulge.

Down by the rapids. Run at the wall, jump up, grab the crack and smear to the top.
