Sit start left hand on the lower protruding rock, right and in the pocket behind. Move up using the best crimps on the face. Very slabby. Looked like it's never been climbed before or at least not in years.

Maybe next time sucka!

The right side of Apex Roof. This is V5 if you go back left from the start and use the center pocket before moving back to the right. It's probably ~V6 if you skip that pocket and stay right the whole time. Harder eliminates also exist. 

Starts on a decent rail in front of a good jug (the only good jug inside the cave) the exit and top out are difficult so good padding and spotting is recommended. The moves are hard and somewhat painful but it's one of the best problems at the palisades.

Start as low as possible with both has on the arete side.  A quick three moves up and around will finish this climb.  V-Fun for the extreme beginner or just someone who likes to climb on everything.

Go up the center of the washboard boulder, sit start.

Start with your left hand on the gem hold and right hand on the crimp rail, move out left to the flake and then make a big move to the top. 

Start on the rail deep into the left with both hands matching and a left heel hook.  The original start on the nob is loose and should not be used.  Throw right to the deep pocket and then use crimpers straight up to the top.  All big ledges in the center of the boulder are off route.

Sit down start under the mini roof, use a knee bar to start with bad hands.  Move your hands up to the obvious Rail center of face.  Work your left hand up to secret hold and slap your right up the edge to get a final foot on and top out.  

  All Orange colored rock is off and should not be used.  It is likely to break.  (  Eyes of the Iron Giant)

Start sitting down with and initial reach to a good hold and work your way up the center of the face using crimpy holds.

Start on parallel sidepulls and pull up in a scrunched posistion to a sharp crimp. The arete is off.

Star sitting down under the roof with a left hand in the obvious pocket.  Work your way up the the very sharp crack shooting off to the right.  Follow this crack right and top out.

The logical start is on the right facing undercling crimp rail then moving into the next right facing side pull crimps before going to the "V" out left. From there you can either escape onto the slab to avoid to the high potentially chossy top out or do what appears to be another big move and the high top out.

 Let me know any info on name, grade, or FA and I can update the page. The line going straight up through two gaston crimps to a large edge looks cool but would require more pads and at least one spotter.

Start on the rail as for Sick Cat Left. At the end of rail, stay low & move right into the start of Sick Cat Right. Finish as for that problem. 

A small but tricky cap-rock boulder problem.

Start the climb sitting down using the obvious rail.  Move to the pocket then work your way back to the right using small small crimpers until you get to the crack right before the top out.

A small boulder choked arroyo located near the West entrance to Scenic Dr. Local mountain folks call the canyon Crazy Cat, but it's official name is The Palisades. A park sign is located at the trailhead with Rules and Information. 

  This area has a no recorded climbing history that I know of. Freinds and I started visiting the area in 1994. Most obvious boulder problems had already been established and the Prow had signs of previous climbers top roping its steep faces. 

  The Palisades is currently the only bouldering area in the Franklin Mountain range open to the public. So its become the spot for climbers to go get a quick fix and pump-out.
