Sit start in two hand jams and climb the wavy finger crack using tricky beta. This crack climbs a lot less like a traditional desert splitter, and a lot more like a crack transported from new england. The crack turns to tips and a shallow pocket with a lot of foot switching beta will allow you to continue progressing upward. A technical topout finishes this fantastic boulder problem.

Northeast Crack

Compressio Levioso

Tiptoesis

Start just to the left of the Northeast crack. Left hand on the arete, right hand on whatever compression hold you can find for it. Compress and slap your way up a couple moves to a fun and reasonable topout.

Left, around the arete from the northeast crack is a large foot rail with not much in the way of hand holds. This problem is a fun and easy party trick.

Step up onto the foot rail to the left of compressio levioso and smear out right until you can kind of reach some hands near the end of the rail, then climb up over the lip trending slightly back to the right.
