This is the problem up the center of the face and requires some good balance along with a bit sloper strength.  Begin with your right hand in the obvious, two-finger pocket and left on a gaston.  Move up to an edge and then to a sloper.  Figuring out what to do with your feet at this point may very well be the crux.  Balance and mantle your way to glory.

Something Deep

The crux is off the ground, "but the feet, there's no feet!" There is, you have to balance with a mean right foot smear on the only bulge near the base. Your left hand is placed on a shallow crimp. Then you hop up with a lean on your right hand, this is to hold the position long enough to quickly move your left foot up to a very small, micro ledge. Bump leaning right hand up, stand,  throw for a great left hand rail, and slab your way to the roof bit. BE CAREFUL of the loose big jug, reach beyond that for excellent crimps. Top that highball out!

This popular traverse requires more finger strength and finesse than most other problems found at this area.  A stiff edging shoe and decent reach also help those of us who lack ballet-like finesse.  Start on the far right of the east face in an obtuse dihedral and traverse left past a slightly painful two-finger pocket and to a thin crux.  Continue traversing, finishing with the easy V0 (#3 in the pic), or top out straight up from the crux as for #2 in the pic.

This is the most obvious and best problem on the west face of the Left Plethora Boulder.  It starts with a hard move, followed by an easier crack section, and then a difficult top out.  Start this problem sitting in the obvious hueco and make a funky move up to the crack.  Stand up to the horzontal crack and find a few edges over the bulge, rock your feet up start grabbing desperately for whatever you can hold on to.

This is really an amendment to the V0 already in place here. Real simply: start with right and left hands on solid crimps and dyno to the somewhat slopey top. Top out.

This is a good, not-too-tall, and easy problem to do as a warm-up or otherwise.  Start left of the heavily chalked thin holds on some good holds and clamber on to the top via large holds and generally good feet.

Start to the left of the V0. Start on the crimps with your foot on the marvelous foothold down low. Head up the crimps to ledge and the triangle hold. Move your feet up - mantle and send the route.
