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.

Located on the East Face of the smaller boulder. Climb just left of the center of the face. It's about 5.8 and can also be used for descent.

Listed as Unnamed in the JT Bouldering Guide.

Start from the ground and climb the curving arete left of

Down with the Ship

(V-easy) via balancy moves and subtle weight shifts. This problem climbs directly over a small rock so a good spot is helpful if you think you might fall off. Starting off the rock avoids the crux and makes this a V-easy (5.9) problem.

Start way back in the alcove and handrail, jam and stem your way up and into the light and better jams near the lip. Finish by turning the corner and making an easy mantle to finish. Descend by downclimbing

, the problem just left of where the problem tops out.

Climb up and left on creaky flakes to join the upper portion of Neoflange and then continue up the easy slab (5.7) above - don't fall as it's a long way down. Easy descent by heading right (west) and down the adjacent boulder.

Hang start off a rail and traverse right on sloping holds but good feet and then finish straight up on easy slab. Starting from the obvious two-handed sloper one move right makes this about V1 or so.

Start left of

Turboflange

and lieback the obvious right-slanting arete (or jump) to high edges that get larger and then turn the lip to finish on the upper slab (5.7) which although easy is quite high off the deck. Easy descent by heading right (west) and down the adjacent boulder.

Jump start to the good jug, get a quick toe and hand jam and work up to a good top out. If you eat it, take some time while lying on your back to admire the petroglyphs.
