Start low on the arete matched on a good flake and make the hard, painful moves up the prow on sharp crimps to the top. Mantle.

Miagi with Ice Cream

Tall slab on an exposed perch. Thin near the top. 

A rare steep problem on perfect edges and crimps. Start left hand on a good crimp, right hand on the good rail, make the long, first move to get establish on the long rail. Crux comes establishing on the two crimps high on the prow and generating momentum to get around the arete to reach better holds. 

  Another sequence could possibly make the finish easier by a grade, but risks a potentially sketchy fall onto uneven, downhill sloping, terrain.  

  A direct finish also looks possible, albeit quite intimidating as well.

Starts on flakes on the face around the corner from the V5 and follow the holds to the top. Mantle.

Starting low squeezing the arete, make difficult slaps up to a good hold just below the lip. Control the swing. Mantle.

Start on two horizontal crimps with a high right toe hook about 10 feet left of the start of "Knife Club".  Work your way right and out of the corridor through a cool ledge feature and a decent matchable rail into the start of "Knife Club".  Finish up the thin and high tension V11.

Start matched on the incut sidepull, paste your feet on and make big moves to establish on the triangle flake and continue up and finish same as for Scrapula.

Steep, aesthetic crimp problem leading to a throw to an excellent lip feature before the top out. This would clean up nicely with more traffic, as there are a lot of suspect crimps one must avoid when working out the problem.

One of the more classic boulder problems of the grade in the Sandias. Font style climbing in the foothills. Start on the rounded triangle flake at chest level and make the long reaches up the rounded corner eventually reaching the top. Mantle.

Fun overhanging crimp problem. Can climb right- or left-of-center; the latter is slightly more difficult.

Start both hands on orange crimps, paste your feet on and throw to lip. Mantle. Good quality rock, but sharp.

Highball slab problem. The first two thirds are more technical slab moves. The final third eases considerably, which is great because a fall from up there would be bad.

Start matched on the glued/chipped flakes and make the big moves up through long reaches and small crimps to reach the final moves. Mantle.

Short, but fun compression arete sequence. If only it were longer...

Right of srapula, start on cool pocket feature, plaster feet and make big left hand move to sloper gaston and press up to foot hand match

Same start as Acrobatics, but with a slightly harder finish going up and right, using the round corner.

This might be the most famous of all foothills boulder problems, as it appeared in a French climbing magazine some time back.

Located in the middle of the wall just left of Mini G. Start on decent crimps, smear feet and make the hard throw to the sloping lip. Mantle.

Short problem with excellent holds and fun sequence. Start down in the pit.

Another Tram area classic. Start low on the arete and work up and right through cool holds and tenuous slab moves to top out. This problem is harder that it looks.

(I'm not entirely sure of the name) Starts on the face directly behind Mixed Arete.  Begins on a low right facing flake and moves up and right through bad crimps (some of which may have broken since I did it) to a big throw over the lip to a crack. Mantle.

Start low on the arete and make the powerful reaches up the green arete to top. Mantle.

Just before the you reach the parking lot of the tram, turn left on Sandia Heights, then turn right at the stop sign and follow the road until you see the House Boulder on your right. This is the best place to park for the Tram area, unless you want to pay the $1 to park in the parking lot.  

  Be aware that the boulder is basically split by a property line designated by a small piece of rebar (barely) visible near the bottom left corner of the photo. The left side of the boulder lies on the property line and should probably not be climbed on, The Corner however, appears to be okay.  

  Right hand start on pinch, left hand on incut crimp, climb up following holds to big move just below the lip. Mantle.   

  More than likely needs to be cleaned as it has been a while since this line has seen some action.

More granite blocks surrounding the area about the base of the Tram. Some of the rock is exceptional and a handful of really nice problems such as Scrapula V6. The majority of the problems are to the east and north of the Tram terminal and pretty dispersed.
