Tunnel Mountain Hoodoo trail Boulder
V2 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.

V5 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.

Boulder 5m
V2 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.

Boulder 4m
V2 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

Boulder 5m
V4 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

Boulder 4m
V6 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.
