There are 3 problems on this short boulder. One in the middle with a sit start. Goes up and left, V1ish. One that starts on the left corner goes straight up, V0/+. The other starts with matched hands on the ledge right in front of his knee and goes right and traverses slopers all the way to the right, V1+ or so. I don't know if any of these ratings are accurate, we just cleaned them off and I don't know is anybody else has done these. If somebody does them I'd like to know what they feel they are like.

Sit start. Follow the crack straight up. Don't use feet on the block to the right or it makes it too easy. It's probably something like V1 or V2. Short, like five or six moves, but fun.
Sit start. Short, but sweet. Mantle is the crux. Maybe like V2?...

Locations of the bolted anchors put up by the Mazamas. They worked with the state to get these bolts in place. Bolting is not otherwise allowed.
From the approach, note the tall buttress near the "east" entrance and the sunlit face of the Entrance Cracks near the "north" entrance

Easy crack problem. Pretty easy stuff, but fun all the same. VB
Warming up on a nice VB
Another shot of easy wall. There is another cool problem on the left edge of the wall up to a mantle on the platform. Fun stuff and good for those that are just starting out as well as warming up.
Kate on a fun V1. The block below the triangular hole is loose but secure enough to use.

Right of the entrance cracks, lots of crack options
