Sit start at the far right end of the steep face as for the problem Crushed Red Pepper, traverse left across the crimpy crack to join the better higher crack, and top out.

Sit start and power up the face on thin holds. One of the cruxes is not dabbing the tree.

Sit start as for the problems Sangria, Weathering the Storm, and White Noise roughly in the center of the face with your left hand on a decent higher flake and your right hand on a different, lower flake. Move straight up to get your right hand on a dark, 3/16 inch flat crimp and your left hand on a lower 1/8 inch micro-crimp. Get your feet really high, surge directly to the lip, and top out. This problem does not use detached rock for your feet.

Sit start roughly in the center with left hand on a higher flake and right hand down lower on a decent flake. Traverse low and left all the way to the right arête, and then turn the corner/bulge and top out as for the problem Full Contact. This problem does not use the detached rock down low for feet.

Sit start with your left hand on a higher good flake and your right hand lower down on a different flake. Move your right hand to a thin, gaston crimp, and bump your left hand up the flake. Get your feet up, and move your right hand to the sidepull pinch/crimp and your left hand to a small crimp. Get your feet up again, surge for the lip, and top out. This problem does not use detached rock for your feet.

Stand start on thin crimps in the crack, pop to a decent hold straight up, and top out.

Sit start with your left hand on a higher flake and your right hand on a lower, different flake. Traverse low and left several moves, get your left hand on a sharp 3/8 inch flat crimp, bump your right hand to a high, flat, 1/8 inch micro-crimp, fire your left hand up to a 3/16 inch gaston crimp, get your feet way up, move your right hand to the slopey lip, and top out. This problem does not use detached feet at the bottom of the boulder.

Sit start the far left arête, and traverse all the way right across the bulging face using slopers and crimps to access the flaring crack. Top out as for the problem Full Contact.

Sit start the steep bulge/arête right in front of the foot high tree stump. Use a great left crimp and anything else for your right hand, power up through a series of sidepull crimps, set up, and gun for the top. This problem does not use the detached block for your feet.

DPW Boulder is one steep, good block with multiple problems. The Boulder has three sides with problems. A steep side with the noteworthy bulge, a sheer side that gently overhangs with crimpy problems and the side with the crack system. Routes start with Hump Day and move right around the boulder.
