This is the boulder problem hidden away in a cave just above the main parking lot. Start sitting way back in the cave and crimp your way to the large underclings 3/4 of the way out. Match the last undercling and use a tiny crimp intermediate to throw big for the lip of the cave, then keep tight and work up to the obvious finishing 'spike.' Unfortunately several holds have broken over the past few years and some of the moves (particularly at the start) aren't as nice as they used to be. Still a great endurance boulder problem, though - something like 18 moves long and horizontal the whole way.

Sit start underneath a bulbous feature on the roof with a good left hand sidepull pinch and a slightly worse pinch a few feet to the right. Campus on and find a foot before making a big move to a good hold. Swing the feet around then move up to another large flake. Once matched here, execute a big toss to the lip. From here, figure out how to match and then keep it together and don't pump out. Traverse left for full value or topout straight up. The traverse sequence incorporates the crux of "Caught in a Landslide" V6.

Sit start below the finishing jug of Party Pooper on two compression holds that are about two or three inches below the holds you actually want to start with and a big right foot. Pull on and use a low left heel to bump up to the better holds, and finish towards Going Deeper. Grab the huge jug and step back down to the pad.

An amazing climb outshone by rock straight from the bargain basement!

  This boulder problem starts sitting inside the cave at the base of the crack on the right side of the pit. Right hand in a finger bucket and left hand on a smaller crimp. Pull onto the wall and move through the crack for a few moves before spinning around and moving diagonally out the roof. Hard rigid moves on stupendous roof features bring the climber to a crux lip encounter and a tough top out sequence! This climb follows the giant rail feature out of the roof while "Fighting the Laws of Gravity" starts the same but climbs following the finger crack out the middle of the roof.

 Although the rock quality isn't the best, this route offers some excellent horizontal roof climbing on large positive features, providing climbers with an excellent spot to hone their skills.

Sit start the suspended lip of the boulder and climb up and right along the arete/ lip on large but sharp holds to a somewhat easy topout. This climb is the first section of "Caught in a Landslide", but instead of following the horizontal shelf across the roof, stay on the lip a few more moves then mantle onto the slab.

Stand start on a large shelf to the right of the ten-foot pit in the cave. With a hard sequence, move from finger jam to another finger jam before thugging out a hard foot cut. Reset and continue climbing up while trending leftwards using a variety of jugs, pockets and meathooks. A somewhat tricky topout will get you on top of the boulder.

A fun roof problem on large reinforced holds. Sit start with a large jug shelf above the pit. Pull on and execute powerful moves along the shelf system. Avoid a dab near the end of the roof and commit to a good topout.

A relatively normal boulder problem in an unlikely location. As fun as it is hilarious. Start with your hands and right heel on a giant rail feature on the right side of the cave (where the opening is), and traverse left on the feature to its terminus, making a final move or two to an obvious jug above. Drop off, or step off. Laugh and do it again. 

This is a horizontal roof hidden just below the parking lot wall. On the right side of the roof is Todd Bradlee's roof test-piece Escape From Reality (V9). There are also two other lines under here that look to be about the difficulty. These other two unknown lines are both to the left of Escape From Reality.
