Start on the far right side of the over hang.

 Start with a double undercling and boulder out the roof using a variety of tricks. Using the block that “suspends” the roof definitely drops the gade down quite a bit. Super fun and quite unique climbing on solid granite! Bump left hand out to a a crimpy side-pull. Re-adjust the feet and bump to a small right hand side-pull. Get a high right foot on the top of the start hold and big right hand to a jug. High left heel and left hand crosses to a slopper over top of the lip. Right hand crosses to the arete then left hand to a jug on the left lip. Cut the heel and cut feet with the right foot coming back on. Steady yourself then big left hand to a jug. Top out and dance.

Sit start under the left end of the long cave roof.  (See photo on opening page for Monument Cove.)  For full challenge, do not use any features to left for feet.  (Climber in the photo on Monument Cove opening page is doing an easier variation.)  Start with lower body fully under roof and feet only on back wall.  Throw for thin horizontal crack, swing out, and plant a foot on lip of roof.  Go for next-higher horizontal crack.  Straight up to top-out.

This Route was discovered by the Pemi-Baker Outdoor Leadership Academy and ascended by Chris Rose while exploring the Monument Cove boulder wall. Chris found this route by checking out horizontal crack systems that were close to the high tide mark. "ZigZag" offers several variations for multiple skill levels. The favorite is the sit start followed by hand jamming the crack. Bring your feet up and finish with powerful mantal moves onto the blocky and sometimes greasy granite. The ocean surf will provide the calm state of mind you need to push yourself mentally past the crux starting move.

Start on good hands just left of cave...traverse ~50 feet to end using good hands in crack. Technical crux is moving around arete (no feet!). Practical crux is fighting the pump. V2 or 5.10.

Sit start on the crimps and follow the line in the picture. Not totally sure on the rating --- maybe a more experienced climber can edit.

Start in the left corner of boulder with your feet right above the puddle. Traverse right 2 moves with the crux involving high right foot before reaching up. Good hand holds if you can find them before topping out.

Sea side bouldering in a spectacular setting. This area doesn't hold the best bouldering in the park, but a good quick hit if your in the park and climbing isn't your main agenda. The rock is a coarse granite and the problems range from V0-V5. This area is basically a long vertical wall with many good easy problems, and a small roof at the right end.
