Up the middle of the right side of this boulder, climb the slab to a fun topout.  Stand start at crimps to good hold in the middle to a tricky topout.  #13 on the beta photo.

Yosemite Highball

From a stand start, climb face to right of the arete and left of the Yosemite Highball using thin crimps.  Sharp but kind of fun.  #12 on the beta photo.

Keeping Up Appearances

Start sitting around left side of boulder beneath arete with hands on good jug. Pull through mini-bulge and climb slab to top of boulder.  #1 on the beta photos

Glacier Polish

Start sitting at base of thin left-leaning crack on right side of face (at the good holds). Climb up and left and finish on the Y-crack.  #8 on the beta photo.

Noontime Moss

The better of the two cracks on the face.  Jam your way up the small crack to the top out.  Very fun.

Yosemite Crack

Start as for Polypucker, but instead of going up, traverse right down the diagonal crack, essentially doing Straight Razor in reverse. Finish at the finish of Midnight Lichen, either by launching straight to the good holds at the top or by using the mono and cranking to the arete.

Four O'Clock Fungus

Starts slightly right of previous problem. Climb slab to top.   #15 on the beta photo.

Easy Slab

Fitting name because not surprisingly this crack branches forming a large Y.  Start sitting in the wide crack down low and follow it up to either top out.

Y Crack

Start sitting on left side of boulder directly below rounded arete. Topout directly up the arete. #2 on beta photos

Merced

Start sitting down and right of the Y-crack on good holds at the base of the seam (as for Straight Razor and Midnight Lichen).  Double dyno to two good sidepull holds.  Very contrived but fun.

Big Snatch

Climb slab to right of the obvious wide crack.  #17 on the beta photo.

Easier Slab

Start sitting down and right of the Y-crack at the base of the seam. Traverse left past the crack (crack and holds are off) staying low and finishing up and left on the obvious and sharp razor hold. #10 on the beta photo. The block and cracks on each side are off, this stays low until moving up to the razor.

Straight Razor

Start sitting down and right of the Y-crack on good holds at the base of the seam (as for Straight Razor).  Move your left hand to a small, painful micro-pocket, then unwind and move your right hand out to the arete and finish straight up on good holds.  #9 on the beta photo.

Midnight Lichen

Start standing at two small sharp crimps left of the Yosemite Crack.  Get foot high and dyno/reach for the top of the boulder.  Very painful.  #4 on the beta photo.

Whitey's Hard One

Starts sitting to the right of Yosemite Highball. Climb around bulge and then up to top.  #14 on the beta photo.

Yosemite Sam

Start sitting just to right of Yosemite Crack laybacking thin seam. Make powerful move up and right with right hand to thin crimp. Bring left hand up to another nearby crimp, move feet up and then make long reach for the top of the boulder. #4 on the beta photo.

Corner the Market

Climb wide crack on back right corner of boulder.  #16 on the beta photo.

Wide Crack

Start sitting stradling arete on right side of boulder. Pull on and climb arete to top. FUNKY and AKWARD.  #11 on the beta photo.

Smiling Fish, Goat on Fire

Sit start at the base of the crack, as for Straight Razor/Chicken Wings, move left up the crack but then move up using a series of crimps just to the right of the Y-Crack.This is an eliminate so the Y-crack is intended to be off for this climb (at this grade at least). 

Midnight Moss

Start as for straight razor, make a move left up the crack and then back out right to the jugs on big snatch/midnight lichen.  Same topout as the previous climbs. 

Chicken Wings

Start sitting/crouching directly under the razor hold. Go straight up, all holds are on.

Polypluker

A very large boulder with lots of problems.  It is not very steep but there are some very hard face climbs with some decent eliminates and some easy climbs as well.
