Polished pull leads to a snatch for a sidepull, set up and then lunge for the big ledge (crux).

Crux is second move.  Good landing though.

Start on the good flake on the left side of the boulder. Traverse right on small crimps. When you have two gaston crimps, fire straight up and top out. May be soft for the grade, v8;)

Sit start, straddling the arete to the right (east) of the Angel Wings traverse problem. Use slopers and whatever feet you can find to climb straight up the arete, topping out on the slab above.

This is listed in Urban Rock on the Angel Wings boulder as “SDS” and is given a grade of V6.

It might be called Angel Wings Arete.

Start on the 2 large flakes. Traverse right to the arete and deadpoint up to the crimp.

The movement is absolutely amazing and pretty difficult due to the slight overhang.

It bakes in the sun almost all day though so it is better saved for the morning or end of day.

The crux is after the halfway point.  Landing gets a little worse at crux, but still pretty darn good.

Sit down start to Pile Lieback.

Balance-y warmup or intro problem for the outdoor bouldering beginner. Short problem without much risk and a relatively safe landing.

Start with your feet on thin edges and hands on two of the many decent hand-holds. Work your feet up gradually and set up for the crux: standing up and grabbing the excellent rail near the top of the problem. From there the finish is more of the same.
