Start to the left of "Grizzly" on the two slopey crimps below the small scoop mid face on the boulder. Move up high to the upper lip for the left diagonal crimp and the right, interesting slopey crimp.   Fire for the small pinch and top out past some slopers.

Something with this many jugs is probably worth 2 stars. I just wish it were taller. 

  Start on the far right side of the boulder. Find the huge, obvious horn jug and climb directly up through the good hands.

Approaching the boulder from downhill, you will walk up to the main side of the Bruin. continue around to the right side and look under the overhanging section (to the left of the tree) for the long, bomber ledge. 

  Start matched on the ledge with feet underneath on the awesome flat hold.   move up through jug rails to the flat topout. 

Approaching the boulder from downhill, you will walk up to the main side of the Bruin.   "Grizzly" is on the middle of the main downhill facing face, to the left of the major overhang. 

  Sit start low with a left hand on a sidepull, and a right hand on a crimprail. past a left foot far out left and a right foot on a large ledgy edge low and under the boulder.   make a large throw up to a massive jug and match. throw a heel hook on a small lip to the left. press to a gap in the diagonal crack and move up to a massive pinch and a flat spot above. move up to the top out.

Climb the first 3 moves of "bear arms" into the big jug. From the jug traverse the thin, obvious crack to the right until you reach the next jug. Top out from there.

Under the left side of the small roof, look VERY low for the curved crimp rail. Start on the low rail matched, move up to the higher (slightly right) thin crimp and then up to the awesome flat slot jug. Top out to the right of the block on top (which is on for the jug fin in the back).

This boulder is up and left from the massive Arbiter Boulder. as you walk up the saddle you will see the largest boulder yet, which is the Arbiter boulder. walk to Arbiter, and go up the steep hill to the right and you will find the overhanging (much smaller by comparison to Arbiter) Bruin Boulder.   The Bruin Boulder is a fun and featured boulder perched high upon the mountainside from the road. full of huge hands and contrastingly small crimps, you will find problems to pump any forearm.
