When looking at the front (lower) face of origins, this climbs the corner arete. Start low and use iron jugs on the left side, and the slopers on the right to get to the top. (Rusty Buckets stays left of the arete on the iron jugs)

Begin on the good low iron plates.  Move up and trend left through good holds.  Pull over onto the slab at the low apex of the arete.

Any of the various short, sandy warm up problems can be a great place to start the day. Most all go from the sit and can all be taken up the tall 20ft slab, but it will probably be really dirty so just to jump back down to the pads once you reach the start of the slab and can stand up.

Sit start on the left-most arête corner. Traverse to the far right  corner to top out the lip and slab up to the high, easy top.

When looking at the short warm-up face, around the left arête in the walk through is an iron face on the right. To the far side of the face there is a cutback and arête. High on the arête is a small crimp which is your left hand for the stand. Your right so another thin crimp. Use the block at the base for feet. Move right to another crimp and match. Grab the high thin jugs, and hit the top lip. Finish out the slab!

Sit start on the rough pocket left of the start of Jonesy-Jones.  Move straight up through good rounded holds to a decent top-out.  Finish up the slab or Jump down.

Stand start around the arête to the right, past the huge diagonal split/crack. Step up on the low iron plate rails and work up the slab to gain jugs along the crack. Higher up is a massive wedged-in flexing block. Use it or skip it. Continue higher along diagonal to the top where distant jugs to the right along the boulders top edge help top out.

Around the corner from the arête, this line stand starts underclinging the low portion of the crack and follows the fun ripples and sidepulls between the crack and arête to the horizontal. From the jug horizontal, roll over the arête to finish up the slab.

Sit-Start on the low slopey dish and work up through decent sloppy crimps to a tough press-out onto the slab.  Jump down or climb up the easy slab.

Sit start on the big crunchy jug.  Climb up the face and the slab your way to the top.

Named after the green staining of the rock and the area's connection to the infamous Wood Booger AKA High Knob Sasquatch.  This problem appears unassuming but is actually amazing.  Sit start on arete with left hand on side pull crimp and right hand on shallow and small sloper.  Find delicate feet and move up arete sticking to the spine.  Careful of the problem's close proximity to wall.

The Origins Boulder is the first boulder to be mostly developed in the main Labyrinth area. The front face has a short (but long) front face perfect for warming up. The original developer, Shayne Fields, has a long sequence traverse that links the entire front face.
