This would be better if it weren't short and low. Stiff fun with intriguing holds and steep moves. 

  To the far left of the long, low roof find the captivating massive starting block.  

  Sit start matched in the deepest slot jug and manage your way directly out of the roof. Once at the lip, trend right a couple of moves to top out. Once standing up over the lip, hop down.

An excellent line following the low roof lip into the finish of "Corona" topping out on the ledge.

 Si start under the right side of the roof in the jug crack (as per "O Be Joyful"). Reach out to the nice chunk under the lip of the roof, then surf out comfortable crimps above the lip along the edge of the roof. Link into the bubbly jugs higher on the face to finish as per "Corona" to top out at the ledge.

To the far right of the boulder to the low right of the gargantuan hueco find the obvious starting block feature. Stand start there and trend right into the long, fun slab, taking it to the top.

The stand version of the described "Joyful Slab" line. Start on the horizontal rail to the upper right of the block and finish as per.

An awesome line with a somewhat vague undercling start under the roof. Hopefully this will one day be the stand start to a very hard one.

 Look under the roof about midway under the belly. Find two undercling crimps (facing toward the very back of the roof). Use the chunky section further under the roof (will be to you your low left) for a toe hook. 

 Pull on and blast to a flat section near the lip. Use the large flat roof hole (start hold "Covid") as another toe hook. Toss right to another edge, then bump left hand to a sloper above the lip. Toss right to an edge above the lip and then follow better holds to the upper ledge to mantle. Hop off once standing on the ledge.

Proudly intimidating and inspiring. This one is a SWVA thriller and classic.  

  Sit start at the corner of the boulder sit on the low crack/jug corner. Toss to the the edge of the gigantic hueco to the right, then link into the smaller deep hueco to the upper left. Move up with a right hand to the edgy plates (this is about 15ft above the start hold). 

  Stand and deliver into the blankness with a high slopey left hand undercling. Make a committing reach overhead at full extension to the top of the blank section. Once above, match the crack jug and continue on into the void past rounded ledges to the blank but flat top.

Fantastic feature climbing. 

  At the corner of the boulder sit start on the low crack/jug corner. Toss the the edge of the gigantic hueco to the right, then link into the smaller deep hueco to the upper right. Move up to the edgy plates and exit left to the platform. Jump Down.

Elijah Kiser got the FA of this masterpiece on the 11th of December, 2020. Follow the roof directly back from “Corona” to the huge jug mouth in the back, base of the roof. Climb through the unlikely crimps and make believe pinches to join into “Corona” and finish as per.

A Fun and funky roof start to nice holds above.

 Look under the roof closer to the huge tree for a huge, deep slot/roof hole about a foot away from the low lip. Start matched on the flat jug portion and heel or toe hook a hold above the lip (for style points, kneebar the hold and start like that).

 Toss to the lip and follow better holds to the ledge to top out and stand. Hop down.

Just beyond the Heart Boulder and above the Ultra Boulder. This massive boulder has several amazing lines to choose from and varying terrain from sheer, low roof climbing to highball vert and fun slab.
