Super jug haul with somewhat of a thought provoking start. Can be done a couple different variations.

This would be Yosemite 5.4!

Shoot to Kill

Cool little Arête problem in the middle of the ghetto!

Beehive Direct is the direct line out of the Beehive. Starting low as possible three moves will get you to the mantle through the V Slot.

Likely not FA for this face, but maybe for this beta?  Start with low handholds before grabbing first right jug to increase quality/difficulty. Start on right jug for shorter V0

This cool tech dyno, sends the right side margin of the Shoot To Kill face. Crumy feet with a funky micro pinch/thumb press, will allow you to throw for the super bucket up and left at apex of boulder. Now mantle!

Can be done static but probably a bit harder.

This climb follows the obviouse slab-potato chip shaped flake.

Three variations., all with cruxes being down low.

Climb the super gnar core crimps and xenoliths, out and over the overhanging scoop/wave !

Start low and just left of hole that is a seasonal home to a hive of Bees. Move up and right on overhanging bouldery moves, all the way to high point of boulder. Positive lip mantle.

Same as Beehive Barrio, instead of setting up to throw for the top out rail. Continue off right crimp side pull, to a series of grim technical crimps up and right, topping out at apex of boulder.

Sit start on the slopy shelf with obvious left hand side pull jug. Move up and right on good holds, make a big move to a incut seam with your right hand. From this point, Mantle up to the rounded lip.

Start with a flake for the left hand and an incut jug/gaston for the right-hand.  A scrunched sit-start leads to more jugs and an easy slab.

Wide hands start.  Big jug on the top-out (don't pull it too hard, kinda hollow!) Great quick fun for Melrose beginners.  *There are a lot of variations to get up this boulder

Best climb on this formation. Sit start low on flake, make improbable move up and right to sloper side pull. Gastone left hand to descent hold. Feet to start flake, bump right to dime edge crimp, side pull, set up for big throw to top out holds.

Sit-start left on large jug, right hand on bulbous crimp.  More right to an unique pinch and throw to a sloping dish.  Stick the dish and jugs take you to the top

Start matched layback on big rail.  Reach out to left pinch, then right hand to sloper rail, top out.  *eliminate big holds to the right

Creative technical crimping on great edges, brings you to the same top out as Papas Fritas.

Great powerful yet delicate climb! :)

Start with minimal feet, use nice side-pull flake and get up to small jug up left.

Short but technical face up the steepest part of the Ghetto Boulder.

This is the right hand or South Arête of The Beehive Boulder. Sit star low, pull through to good horizontal rail, hand/heel match on horizontal and pull through to the herniating mantel.

Start with right hand on slopey side pull dish, left hand on bumps up high. Right foot on high edge, pop to slot crimp in the horizontal seam. Finish it up!
