this line is on the front face, on the right-hand end before rounding the boulder to the nose. look for protruding smooth "candy piece" stones embedded in the boulder.  

  locate the largest smooth stone that is about eye level. this is the right hand for the start. 

  stand-start right hand on the smooth stone and a left hand on a small rough crimp. move up into the small two finger pocket/s. grab the big knob on top for the top out.

Gum Drops

Vapor

Sour Green Apple (Starburst Crack)

Transpiration Traverse

Transpiration (direct)

Gum Drops & Sugar Plums

Sugar High

(The sit start to Sugar Plums) 

  Sit start low and left on a long, deep, flake jug rail. Make a couple tough, tenuous, distant lock off moves up and right to gain the smooth "candy piece" pebbles to start "Gum Drops (Stand)". Finish as per...

To the left of "Sugar High" you will find a large softball sized pink drop stone. Look for the little slopey crimps beside/around the drop stone and start here on these. 

  Post up on low feet under the steepness. Off these slopey crimps, blast a fun dyno directly up to the lip of the boulder and make a difficult latch onto a small but positive knob. From this knob continue up through big knobs to an easy-ish finish. 

  Wikipedia tells us that 0.001% of the earths water exists as vapor, clouds (formed of solid and liquid water particles suspended in air), and precipitation... That has absolutely nothing to do with this problem, but you might hear that question on Jeopardy some day and then you will no doubt thank Mountain Project.

  The Transpiration Crack is the extremely long crack that snakes across the boulder. 

  Sour Green Apple starts on the lowest possible (2nd down) crimp rail at the far left end of the crack, almost at the start of the crack... 

  Toss through the 2nd rail and then use the Transpiration crack for hands. Toss left to a left facing thin sidepull and the either match or toss left to the top out.

technical top out! Find the long, traversing, mostly juggy crack. Start at the lowest left portion of the crack and start there. traverse the crack to the top out    (for the t/o try to stay left of the crack). pads.

where the Trans Traverse tops out, follow the thinner crack seam straight down to the juggy sit start. Start sidepulling the right facing jug and with your left on whatever works. move straight up to gain the jug crack and finish as per.

on the very right hand end of the boulder. on the end nose portion of the right end of the boulder. sit start low on a small crimp rail/s and toss to the upper jug hand on the "lip" and match. move to a gaston like diagonal right hand jug and make a difficult press move to the best knob you can find. if there is no chalk on the knob you may have to really search for the best one, but i assure you its there. use knob to gain the top out far above useing the big angular detached (very solid) slab on the top of the boulder.

  The Water Boulder is longer than the rest in the Alchemy Area, and is about 10 feet tall in the middle. its right end has sporadic pebbles extruding from its surface. Lots of fun ones! (my favorite in Alchemy).
