White Dwarfs are compressed stars, and the lower half of this highball follows fun compression sequences.

 Turn right once past the slab in the corridor past the cave. On the face to you right once out of the first corridor, find the low hueco/pocket. To the right of the pocket locate the opposing sidepulls for a compression start.

 Start low, compressing, and work directly up the face for 10ft of fun compression. Then at the high split, trend to the right past some slots and sidepulls. Work into the higher jugs and into the high slot to press out in-between. Please don't fall.

Nowhere near as classic as the thin and tall front slab highballs, but, this one is steep, scary, and certainly worth trying. When looking at Diamonds, walk to your left and turn the corner to the right in the wider corridor. On this face, in the center, start low and work up edges into a dirty seam up high. Better holds follow at height.

Start with left hand in 2 finger pocket and right hand on the swoop edge. Make a few moves up to the lip. Top out to the left of the detached boulder.

Start low on opposing crimp sidepulls. Left hand to the good pocket then continue straight up through delicate crimps and sidepulls to the jug lip. Top out per Twinkle Twinkle. 

Start with right hand in pocket and left hand in diagonal crack. Follow crack up to the jug at the top. Top out to the left of the detached block. 

This towering slab is a classic Lab highball and a heady testpiece for the grade. 

  Walk through the Allegory cave and at the end of the corridor, this line begins at the right arête corner of the boulder. 

  The line stays very close to the arête corner at the far left side of the long highball slab face, but does not climb the arête itself. 

  Just to the right of the arête, stand start anywhere on the iron ribs. Work directly up the face passing nice edges and sidepulls. Once at the nice jug and small bump, work through several long moves to thinner holds. Latch the good loaf at the top and the long, excellent top lip.

Sit down start at the bottom of the crack with right hand in bottom of crack and left hand on opposing sidepull. Climb up the crack to the jug at the lip. Break left and continue up the offwidth or stay right (at your own risk) and ride the juggy arete to the top. 

Nothing small about this one! This massive boulder is adjacent to the "High Water" boulder and on the approach, once through the Allegory Cave, this is the next boulder on the right (the massive slab face is part of this boulder). This block is full value!
