This is an eliminate with a sit-down start. According to Chip Phillips's

on-line guide

: "start left of the crack matched on a brick. From slopers, make a big, left hand move to a sharp sloper, then pull again to the lip and over. The incut corner hold up and left from the start is off."

It has a fun big move that didn't seem bad for the grade once I figured out the best left foot. This loses a star for being contrived.

Start the same as

, but instead of heading mostly left, as soon as possible use holds in the small, right-facing corner to go upwards. The big incut corner is off.

This is an extension to the

Graduation Traverse

. Instead of finishing at the obvious crack, continue traversing left, staying low. I assumed the 2nd higher jug after the crack was off, which forces tensiony heel hooking. Top out nearly as far left as possible.

While a bit contrived and ultra lowball, this line is pretty fun with multiple crux sequences.

Sit down start at the base of the dirty crack. Climb good layback edges to the top. Everything left of the crack is off.

Start with you hands on the sloping rail just to the right of the crack in the boulder. Throw that heel up high and right, and work you're way up via crimps and pebbles to the top.

Start closest to the road, and traverse right to left, dropping down to the rail shortly after dual cobbles. End by topping out at the large crack. It climbs better than it looks, you don't need a pad, and it is a stone's throw from the parking lot. A great/easy place to bring the kiddos.

It is kind of hard to know exactly where this starts.

Flagstaffmountainbouldering.com suggests a sds on obvious, opposing holds. Unfortunately, a sds isn't available at anywhere near this grade. There is an obvious incut corner 8 or 9 feet up the wall. I believe the correct start is with your right hand on a sidepull at the bottom of the small, right-facing corner which drops down from this incut. Your left hand is then on a small crimp just up and left from your right hand. Make a hard move off the ground on these two holds to a left hand crimp, then continue up and left, avoiding any more holds in the aforementioned right-facing corner.

The description is longer than the climb!

Start matched on the right end of the central rail. Throw for the lip, match, and finish with an easy mantel.

This is pretty fun for a really short problem.
