Brute force your way through an extremely difficult (for 12b) move at the beginning, gallivant up some massive jugs, then enjoy what would be a classic boulder problem if it were at the bottom rather than the top of Rumbling Bald.

This is a nice route which is half 5.9 wide crack and half 5.11 vertical face.  The face now has all new stainless protection bolts and anchors on top for lowering/rap.  Originally done as 2 pitches, you can easily climb it as a single pitch and lower with a 50m rope.

Jam and chicken wing your way up the crack to a ledge. Clip a bolt and fire a thin, bouldery move up to a good gear pod. Continue up the technical and crimpy face past 3 more bolts to a 2 bolt anchor. Super safe and fun.

passing the second and third bolts is the crux. Very sustained climbing.

The climb starts on the blunt arete at the top of the kennel. start the left side of the arete and pull big moves to good hold move right onto the face to a very small crimp. hard clip and fire out of there.

Not a long climb but it all packs a punch from start to finish.  Negotiate the short lived entry slab and crack to a comfortable stance where you will find some important gear. From the stance figure out how to negotiate the cryptic overhang into a more strenuous stance under the roof.  Follow the obvious horizontal (look for critical gear) and start railing left below the first bolt.  Big crank up and back right to the first bolt.  Big moves to the second bolt and on to the anchors.  There is small gear above the second bolt to protect the redpoint crux if you can fight the pump.
