Cruise up the arete on the north face of the Gem Boulder, just left of "

This is the beautiful line in the middle of the Gem Boulder. Start on a rail, make a big move up and right to a crimp, and then go up to the lip and over.

An okay warmup problem climbing the bulge on the south side of the east block. Start low on the right side of the bulge and punch up through good round pinches to a silly topout straddling the spine of the boulder.

Bulge

is an easy slab. On the far left side of the slab is an arete. SDS low on jugs and heel hooks, and work your way up to the arete. The crux is transitioning from the overhang to the arete.

On the opposite side of the boulder from "

The Gem

" there is a short overhang with a few jugs.  It's not great, but it's another easy warm-up.  Pull through the jugs, and mantel the roof to continue up the mellow slab.

Climb the right arete just right of "

The Gem

". It basically traverses the lip of the boulder from right to left on slopers and smeary feet. It's a good problem and a sit start can be added to bump the grade up a bit. Watch out for the small tree stump in the landing zone.
