Move up a vertical face on positive horizontal slashes.  For the first couple moves, do what you can with thin, undercut feet.  Good warmup, or a fun problem for those who (like me) prefer their boulders a bit easier than V6.

Park at the Cap Rock parking area and head up the left (north) fork of the nature trail.  Collieherb will be just off to your right before the trail curves around the large rock formation; on the NW face, so you'll basically be staring right at it.

The problem starts with a high left hand on the arete, a small sharp crimp for the right and feet under a bulge. Reach high for a shallow dish for the right hand and then punch it to a jug on the arete with the left, after which easier but balancy arete moves lead to the top.

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.

is this thin and balancy slab which utilizes a key left hand crystal pinch midway and gets easier the higher you go.

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.

A difficult start with a good left hand and a miserable right hand and a very undercut foot, move up with one more really bad right hand and a good left or two until you can get your feet up and hike up to the top. Fun but not super classic.
