BEWARE OF THE SLOPING FALL BELOW. Within the cluster of boulders in the area. This one is the first you encounter. On the smoothest face of this boulder there are plenty of pockets and bulbs to ascend on. Easy for new climbers.

Short traverse right, starting with some good jugs to a hard move and a sharp finishing hold. WARNING TOP OUT IS SKETCHY. Would recommend the finishing jug left of the crack.

On a slightly overhanging face, follow the L shaped line to a good top out.

Climb a pocket covered slab towards a juggy vertical top-out.

On the wall just right of "The lonely boulder", climb towards the obvious longitudinal crack. This is the original line to follow, a variation is possible starting just below the crack, but features less secure holds.
