Last week some friends and I went climbing at Buffalo Park and Priestdraw before heading to Red Rock for the Rendezvous. We found some fun routes that we couldn't identify on Mountain Project and I was hoping I would be able to find someone in the forums that could identify them.

The first is at Buffalo Park, it's a detached boulder below The Prow in a grove of oaks. The route was fun and easy It had a two hand start that moved to a large slanting horizontal crack. Picture is below:



The second climb I'm hoping someone may be able to identify is in Priestdraw. The climb is located to the left of the Welcome or Triangle Boulder. From what I could tell there was only one climb on the boulder. The route started on low hands with a move to a positive horizontal ledge from there you move up to a series of slopey dishes to the top out. I should have taken one from farther back of Welcome boulder with this one in the background, pictures below:





If anyone could help in the identification of these two climbs I would greatly appreciate it. Happy climbing everyone!!

i don't know what the name for the boulder in buffalo park is, i just always called it the "defy boulder" because there was and evolv defy at the base of it for a while. i tend to use this as a warm up boulder. the problem at your left is probably like a v1, the crack going up the middle is like a v2(?), and the little traverse that starts on the left and goes to middle might be a v3/4. hard to say, haven't been there in a while
