Another of Joshua Tree's finest boulder problems, this ascends the center of a beautiful vertical face peppered with juggy slashes. The crux is encountered fairly low on the problem, leaving many airy jugs to be savored. The problem tops out at around 25 ft. with an easy, yet committing mantel.

Slashface

Seam Splitter

Slashdance

Start off a tall pile of cheatstones and make a long reach for a left-slanting seam/crack. Pull your feet over the undercut bulge and then rail out left past a few thin spots to top out on easy but high slab.

SDS with hands matched on a large flake and low feet, reach up and right to match on the first horizontal seam and then wander up the horizontal slashes to finish with tall but easy slab.

The problem can also be done from a standing start at about V0.

* This problem isn't listed in the Joshua Tree Bouldering Guide but is an obvious line with some good moves that's worth a go when in the area.
