Description
The Aleph is another really good arete problem, though the top mellows out considerably... possibly a good route for someone trying to get into highball bouldering, but needs an easy topout ;)
This problem is interesting in that there are two completely different styles possible on the same terrain. I climbed it as a compression problem, but my buddy found a series of small crimps that I totally missed. I am not sure which way would be easier. Either way, it has really great rock.
Begin crouch/sit on the left side of the blunt arete on a big edge, and choose your adventure. I'd recommend keeping the body on the left side up high as a better finish, if you move right, it's considerably easier.
