One-move wonder problem. Start on a cluster of incut crimps above head height. Pull hard to gain the lip. Crux is finding a foothold to get off the ground.

There are two possible starting positions. The squat/stand begins with left hand on a decent block, and right hand on either of two sidepull crimps. The sit start begins with left hand on a hidden undercling, and right hand on a glassy full pad edge. Move up to a wedge-shaped crimp rail above head height. From there you get a straightforward topout. Grade is an estimate.

Start on the protruding block, with any starting holds you can find. I pinched the block with my right hand and crimped on a sharp seam with the left, but there may be other ways. Pull on and throw for the jug up to the left. Use that tricep power to press out a big mantle, as you're not likely to find anything to help you after the jug. 

  The crux is finding the footholds and body tension that will allow you to pull on long enough to make the first move. It took me over an hour of puzzling over two sessions to find the beta that works.

Start matched on a horizontal crimp rail. Move straight up on sharp crimps. Crux is probably getting off the ground and making the first move.

Sit start with hands matched on a right-facing shelf. Make a big move up to the lip, then a series of bumps, presses, and high steps to transition onto the slab. From there it's a straightforward march to the top.

Start in a wide compression stance with right hand on a nicely textured sloper and left hand on any of the sharp crimps at head height. Throw up a high heel hook and start slapping your way up the arete.

A single granite boulder with topouts ranging from around 7 to 12 feet. The climbs on it are not particularly aesthetic or bold, but they do make for some interesting puzzles. If you are climbing alone, this area is a decent choice, as the landings are easily protected with a single pad.
