The back side of the Try Again boulder is littered with good holds and fun problems.  Using all the holds topping out the in the middle is a three star problem.  Mix and match holds topping out left, middle, or right for various problems to get a good warm up.

Pete's Arete

Blow Up

Start sitting on the bottom of the arete at the end of the right face.  Move up on incut jugs and around to the good edge of Pete's problem.  Top out on good holds.

Start sitting on the far left crimps on the front face.  Traverse right on small crimps into the slot then finish up the pinch and dyno as with Loadies.

The sit start to Blow Up. Start with left hand on a crimp and right on the start hold of Pete’s Problem, then make a big move left into the sidepull on Blow Up and finish as for that problem.

Same start as for the Right Sit to Try Again but finish straight up on Straight Again.

Start sitting on the left side of the face, move up and right to Try Again staring holds then finish straight up on Straight Again.

Start sitting on the far left side (about 4 feet right of the left edge of the boulder) of the Try Again face on very sharp crimps with feet on good holds.  Make two hard moves on very sharp holds to easy topout.

Start sitting on boulder as for Pete's Arete.  Traverse left using Pete's Problem holds and continue left after start hold of Pete's to finish up Blow Up.

Begin on 2 small crimps at head height in the left seam of the overhanging front face. Stand up on your choice of small feet and dyno for the 2 pad flat edge out high and left and top out. Alternatively, crimp up until you can get a small sharp crimp with a thumb catch, stick your toe high and left in the seam and rock over for the same big flat edge. The difficulty is somewhat height dependent.

A good little climb that never gets done. Crouch start same as Pete's Problem but instead of traversing right, punch straight up on decent crimps and a cool pocket. After a few moves, you'll reach the jug ledge. From here you can scramble up huge jugs to the top out. Varied, fun, and not contrived(a rarity for this boulder).

Start sitting with left hand on good crimp, right hand in or around the crack.  Move up on crimps and incuts to a small pinch. Dyno/deadpoint out right to the jug. Top out up and left.

Start by doing Reverse Pete's into the slap for the slopey sidepull of blow-up. From there, stay low and continue with difficulty traversing to the left and finish up on Try Again.

Starting sitting on left of face and move up and right to starting holds of Try Again, then fire up and left finishing up Try Again.

Start sitting as for Loadies Zen.  Make the first left hand move as for Loadies Zen but then head left to the starting holds of Try Again (either by matching crimp and going left or by a crossover dyno with the right), finishing up Try Again.  A grade easier if you do the first two moves of Loadies Zen before heading left to the Try Again holds.

Stand start on good holds all the way over to the left of the face. Traverse to the right, across the ledge using small foot holds/smear for feet. Mantle top out at the same point as Try Again. Short but fun problem! Feels like a V2 but listing as a 2-3 because of the semi-sketchy top out.

Start on wavy rail at the left end of the right face.  Traverse right on crimps then move off the gaston to a decent edge. top out on good holds.

Start same as Try Again but head straight up through the triangular chip using a sharp gaston and slopey dish to the top. The big mantel ledge and foothold way out right is off.

Start standing on jugs on the right side of the Try Again face and climb up to the obvious and tricky ramp.

Start on the 2 slopers on the blunt arete. use either the low edge or higher left smear and throw for the sharp jug. top out on jugs

Flat, overhanging crimpfest on the front and easier incut climbing on the right side. Problems from V0 to V10. 

  Like much of Lincoln Woods, which has been climbed on extensively for decades, this boulder has many named variations to routes, especially on the main face. The micro beta can sometimes be confusing. The climbing is very good though and many sessions can be had throwing yourself at this famous boulder.
