A tuff bouldering classic: powerful, yet technical, and immensely satisfying. Grab the pumice banana and a small right crimp and pull a couple steep moves to the big sloper. Keep it tight for a radical sequence through the large dish to a gaston, and finally, a baseball-sized pocket and the huge shelf. Beautiful.

(Word has it the starting pinch and a crucial foot have been steadily disintegrating over time, so step lightly and/or get this done quick.)

Stand start on the sloper goes at v5

Rave

Kill On Sight

All-Nighter

Meth Squealer

Standing Kill Order

Dance the Night Away

Slow Dance Right aka Mandance

Dancing in the Street

Slow Dance

Weekender

Fast Dance

Last Dance

Sit start and climb the diagonal seam to slopers and finish up right.

Sit start to Standing Kill Order. Adds a 2 or 3 burly moves

Stand start with both hands in the good bucket at the bottom of the flake of Weekender. Make powerful moves up and right to a big knob, then straight up on jugs to a bit of an alcove. Either muster your courage and proceed straight up on jugs (easy but steep and very high) or traverse off to the left and step down onto the boulder above Rave.

Start matched on good left facing finger jug and conjure your way straight up the crimps with some toehook trickery. Super sick!

Sit start as for Kill on Sight but once you grab the finger jug make a big throw out left to a jug.(This is where everyone toe hooks for Kill on Sight) Make a tricky match and continue up on the weekender. A good problem. Getting off the ground and snagging the first move is the crux.

Same start as for Slow Dance on the small hole / pocket. Make a few moves to gain the crack trending right (crux). Finish on All-Nighter. A 360 campus may be helpful.

Stand start matched at good crimp incut and make a huge move left to a good hold and then climb upwards on improving holds and top out as for All-Nighter. A good problem for those able to do The Weekender and for those who are looking to step it up a bit. Get this line dialed then go for the sit start!

This climb is named after a song by David Bowie.

In memory of him and Dave Mirra.

Lay down / sit start below Weekender on the small hole / pocket. Pull on to really sharp right hand side pull. Make a few hard moves out left to gain the jugs. Drop off or climb Weekender.

Start in the back of the 'Slowdance Cave', on the left side at good jugs. Traverse right on high jugs to a harder move into good right-slanting flake. Climb up the steep flake using good holds then straight up good jugs into alcove some 18 feet up. From the alcove, either top out straight up on very high jugs, or traverse off left above Rave.

SDS as Rave, after first move go right to finish on LAST DANCE

Sit-start to the right of 'Rave' and 'Fast Dance' on two opposing side-pull crimps.  Climb directly to the jugs above.  Coolness factor is highly beta-dependent - try doing it in two moves (I won't ruin the surprise for you (look at the photos if you want the beta), but doing it this way makes it one of the most fun problems at the Happies IMO, and preserves the grade as well.)
