Start on the jug, work up the slab and then left to top out in the Easy Dihedral (V0)

Epona

Breath of the Wild

Zelda Rails Right

Unnamed Dihedral

Zelda Rails

A Link to the Past

Temple of Time

Ocarina of Time

The dihedral around the corner from Zelda Rails; go straight up for this problem, or traverse left into Ocarina of Time for a fun variation

Start low, right hand on the small horn on the arete and left hand in the seam on the face. Get to the rails of Zelda Rails then finish as for Zelda Rails Right

Start on the lowest left facing rail as for Zelda Rails, but go right to the arete instead of left, and top out from there. Most folks use a big jug at the lip. Almost as cool as its neighbor!

Amongst Index's best climbs. Start seated, matched on the lowest diagonal rail. Climb up and left with some trickery to an easy topout.

Start below Ocarina of Time on the slab and climb up and right to finish on Ocarina

Start on the large jug, climb the pretty easy slab and then go right for a difficult lip traverse and mantle.

Previously in Western Washington Bouldering guidebook as the Zelda Roof Project until first ascent 07/24/24 by Wyatt Rosenthal.

Sit start problem climber's right of

Zelda Rails

.

Begin seated with your left hand on a good in-cut jug, and with your right hand on the underside of the arête. Move up the arête by switching into a mantle with your left hand in combination with an memorable right heel hook. This allows access for easy top out climbing above.

Ocarina of Time

in combination with

Zelda Rails

and

Zelda Dyno

makes for a fun circuit, and a great pre-project warm up on your way to

Midnite

.

Another variation also exists starting three moves lower on the (now) dirty v1 dihedral start, and traverses left into the start described above for

Ocarina of Time

. This alternative start might add a grade as well.

A classic Index boulder, this includes V4 Zelda Rails as well as a lot of other new climbs across a wide grade range. The recent ascent of Temple of Time (V12/13) previously listed as the Zelda Roof Project in the Western Washington guidebook has garnered some recent attention for this boulder and adds a unique and very difficult climb to this already attractive boulder!

The boulder is west of Architect and Engineer (tall scary slab climb) and the roof is pretty distinctive if you come from the other side.
