With so many heady test pieces, bold highballs, and sketchy landings around, a solid cruisy warm-up is a welcome addition to the monolith zone.This climb is relatively short but packs in acrobatic moves on big volumesque holds all the way to a fun and secure topout. Nothing fancy here, just big moves on good holds with a decent landing and a nice view of the lake. This would be a great candidate for a gym rat's first outdoor boulder.The location does leave a little to be desired, but its worth running a few laps on before moving on to harder things in the area. If you do manage to make it off the beaten path, you'll enjoy a ride up the Magic Carpet!

Big Wobbly

A funky and unique one.  Start crouched with a left sloper on the arete and right low undercling at the base of the block.  A scrunchy bicycle may prove useful.  Gain the lip, work up the arete and mantle as for Big Wobbly.  The detached blocks aren’t used.

This is a unique problem with excellent movement just a short distance from the upper trail. Sit start with big hand holds low in crack and under suspended block. You could use the detached block to the left for feet or keep your feet low and right to avoid this (I chose this path) foot decisions will not effect difficulty. With some trickery obtain the small holds on the lip of roof. Make a hard move to establish on small face holds (crux) and then follow slab to the tip of the boulder.

A solitary block with uniquely curved surfaces.  In the woods between Monolith Ridge and a lower talus field.
