| 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 |

| 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. |

| Toasted (3A) | You know the boulder is gonna be fire when even the downclimb is good |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| Ultimate Porker (7A) | First line I envisioned when I found this boulder. Starts on the pedestal at the base of the overhanging feature and makes a large move out to an underclinging jug rail feature that you hit as a gaston. Get your right foot up and match the undercling before shuffling your hands around to the large holds above it. Make sure your left hand is as right along the rail as possible and then, with a left heel-hook, fire your right hand out to a decent Shotgun-esque pocket far up and right. Keep the tension in the heel, and match it on your left hand. There's some kinda sloping edges as you start to exit the overhanging portion, but trend right and there should be a large iron flake jug you can meathook and then power up for the top out. If the first few moves weren't on uncomfortable holds, this would be four stars. Amazing movement, and the quality of stone improves as you climb. |

| Freaky Fast (6C+) | Amazing dyno. Better than most at LRC. Start on the left side of the obvious rail with good feet. I got a high left foot to start, but Paul with the SA kept his feet low. Make one large double-clutch dyno to the kinda slopy, kinda juggy lip and throw a left heel in the divot over the lip and press it out. Feels so amazing to stick that dyno. Maybe fourth or fifth try? Looked harder than it ended up being. |

| Box Lunch (6A+) | Second ascent after Paul Zachos snagged the FA. Starts on the right side of the obvious rail with good feet. Make a dynamic move up to a sloping lip with an edge before setting a right heel-hook on the starting rail and grabbing the corner of the sloping bulge with your left hand. Match that and bust out left hand to the jug below the lip. Gain the bulge and mantle going directly over the outer-most prow of the bulge. It was like 85 degrees, so the mantle felt a bit hard, but probably a solid V3. Excellent stone quality. |

| Free Smells (5C) | Cool little V2. Sit start at about the midpoint of the obvious rail with good feet. Make one long lock-off move to snag a positive crimp-pinch with your left hand. Either jump to the jug (style points) or set a right heel and crank on the positive goodness. Match the flat lip jug and throw a heel out left to an easy mantle. Amazing climbing. |

| Hold the Mayo (5A) | Easiest climb on the Jimmy John's roadside boulder. Start on the far left corner on some sloping edges with awkward feet. Make a right hand move to a jug and match a bit higher along the edge with your left. Good feet out right with side-pulls aplenty. Stand up to top out. Extreme quality |

| Toasted (3A) | Technically the downclimb, but still pretty fun and quality holds. VB- for sure. |
