Start standing at the leftmost part of the boulder. Follow excellent holds to the tippy tippy top for a true classic city slab. Warm up your mantle here.

Sit start at the ledge with a right heel before getting situated to throw to the nostril of your choice. Climb up the eye and slight right for a sloped top out with great feet. Avoid tree beta, but who ever really cared about a dab?

Start with right hand on the clam-shaped shelf under the roof and another hand palming the bowl just over the ledge. You'll want to throw right and up to follow crimps and side-pulls right of the eggman, with beta on the intermediate slopers varying depending on your preference. Top out straight up after finding your feet and trying hard not to dab on the floor. But who minds a dab anyway...

Start by pinching sharp pancakes and using excellent feet to prepare for a cool ascent up the obvious left-moving arete. Descend via tree for the full experience.

Start on the sharp pancakes of Blue Ridge Fire Brigade but climb straight up using the mini-arete.

Plant a classic Ansley Right Heel Hook(TM) and pull over it, enjoying the pocket on the face of the climb before topping out.

Two-hand start on jug under shelf. Slap up above you and continue straight up on good holds. 

Start without hands. Yes. Without hands.Cam those feet in as far left of the roof off-width as you can. Do a curl-up to get the first hand-holds, then progress right with extra points if you land the excellent double knee bar and pause to take in the view of the river behind you fully upside-down. Regain normal circulation by grabbing jugs on and near the arete that marks the end of the crack and finding smears below for feet.Move right to top out above the Eggman.

Start at Cyclops but climb up and right, following the face of the boulder instead of using any hand or footholds right of the crack. 

The Ansley Boulder is a small, sunny, riverside block with a minute-long approach trail.It features an excellent, flat landing, beginner to moderate climbs, easy top-outs, and an uncountable amount of right heel hooks.The trails surrounding belong to the owners of a nearby apartment complex and mix with trails behind private residences (watch out for No Trespassing signs, beyond which I am not aware of any boulders anyway). It's a small, privet-filled area prone to erosion and washed up river trash, but also offers a haven for swimming dogs, fly fishers, and students who hammock and study after school. Still, there usually won't be more than 10 people out there in total at a time, and I've never seen another climber.My essentials for this area are 1 pad and bug spray. I'll leaf blow from time to time to keep the leaves off but the choss levels are low.
