| Handicap Parking (6B) | Fun last move, little awkward to start. |

| The Last Spot (6B+) | Pretty good one-mover. One of the right-hand holds was flexing and making some noise, so be careful. |

| Compact Car (6C+) | Used a more dynamic beta -- dyno straight up with the left gaston and right sidepull. Very fun movement! Felt harder than The Last Spot |

| The Frontiersman (7B+) | Delightful boulder. Climbed it twice in succession. Took me three hours to find this thing with no parking or approach beta, just a satellite image from Google maps. Managed it first try from the bottom after testing the moves to make sure they wouldn't fuck my already-fucked TFCC. Idk about the grade—every additional inch of height makes the crux slightly easier. Maybe it's V9 if you're under a certain height (sub 5'8"?), but if you'd told me this was V7 I'd have probably believed you. Easier than Damn Yankees, Raindance, and The Painter, imo. |

| Ultimate Porker (7A) | Wolfe said he'd give it four stars if the quality was better but I'm giving it four anyway, this line is fantastic. If the stone was better I'd honestly give it five. The shouldery intro moves are so cool, and even though we were scared the jug rail was going to flatten us like a pancake it kind of added to the excitement. The rail actually did break on my flash go where I had placed a solid heel, but the climb is so good I didn't even mind trying it again. If this boulder was in a more popular location it would be a classic for sure. Awesome first day on this boulder, I can't wait to see what else it gives us. |

| Free Smells (5C) | The pinch hold on this one is so cool, we had to figure out a way to use it. This was the last one we did on the Box Lunch face and it was about this time that we realized every single problem on this boulder was going to be awesome. |

| Hold the Mayo (5A) | We tried this climb from a worse hold to the right but it felt impossible so we just made it easier and called it a day. |

| Freaky Fast (6C+) | One of the best dynos I've done. It's contrived since there's good holds off to the right but it's worth it for this amazing move. The throw takes you out from the wall and the lip is sloped enough that you have to catch it with both hands to reel yourself back in, a very violent move. On my send go my hat flew off my head from the force and I kicked it in midair as my feet swung back, pretty brutal. |

| Rose Traverse (7A+) | I thought it was fun. Line feels a bit contrived avoiding some good holds around it. |

| Box Lunch (6A+) | Very proud to put up the first line on this amazing boulder. Probably the first climb I've ever done that I'm sure is a first ascent, there was a lot of dirt on top of the holds. Really fun mantle, felt straight out of Horse Pens. |
