Another highball that appears as an unamed YDS graded route in the guides. 

  Climb the black street to the top out right of the arete.

Crimps all the way with balancy footwork.

Start on great jugs and climb the arete to a decent undercling. Long move to some bad holds, then with good willpower and feet, gain some good jugs to top out. 

This problem was said to have been put up by John Gill himself. However, as stated in the DCA--he didn't. That's why I like the alternate name for this problem: Vast Understatement. Start out under the obvious mantle. Wedge your right hand in the chalked crack, split with left foot on decent foot hold and reach up for a weary slopper, then match. For the taller climber, the next part is a simple static, for the shorter--a dynamic move is in order. A deep jug is up and to the right about a two and a half or three feet above the matched hold you're on. This move is the crux. Stick the hold, match, and work your feet up. Sit your feet, into the dish that you matched on before the crux. Lean in, grab the pinches on either side and scramble up to the top. 

  The jug that you have to stick for the crux is AWESOME! Check it out from above first if you want to get an idea for where your next hold is.

Jimmy Webb's contribution to MRP. Start on Reignition Sit holds and move to burly left shoulder move. Match hands and work feet over until you have a huge left hand throw out of the cave. Double toe hook and keep tension to top this one out.

Do the Reignition Sit, but when you get to the flat roof where crack cuts right to go to the jug, just go left out of the smaller crack to jug just above the stump. After that, finish with tricky groove. 

One of the hardest problems at MRP. Start on crimps low and move up left with shoulder-y move. Continue left and finish up on Reignition.

Classic problem @ MRP, true to it's grade. Crux is footwork for the gaston and hitting the flake towards the top.

Climb the tall face using small crimps. Starts off easy, then makes a very long dynamic move to a small, hard to see crimp (just below the base of a faint V shaped groove). Then make a spooky move to a small hold below the lip and work your way up.

Move out from juggy horizontal to a crimp and pinch straight up.

Appears in the DCA as 'Unamed 5.11'...really a highball problem.  

  Climb the crimpy, overhanging face left of the arete and then the arete to the top.  

  The topout is slopey but there are hidden mossy jugs.

This problem is tall and ought to be respected. Stand start on obvious jug in the center of Ozzy Boulder and climb directly up, following the inset and least-featured face of the of the boulder, topping out to the right of water-groove.

Super fun reachy moves from jug to jug. This is my favorite V0 at Moss Rock and I climb this every time I visit. 

Begin in the seam break. Move up using small holds and up the seam. Once you match, get a high foot and make a high gaston move for the right. 

A step up from Cheese. Fun problem that's really balancy, committing moves towards the top, especially with a big rock and tree below and behind you. Some stuff from Cheese is "off" while some is on. Horizontal crack that's the first move on Cheese is off--makes sense for the grade.

General Lee's crimpier badder brother. Crimps all the way up to a static to a nice shelf.

Fun, varied traverse, right to left. Start matched on slopers by Tree Problem, work up on slopey ledge until the slopers become a rail, then down following the chalk to two corner holds. Fun "rock star" move via a key toe...twist and push up past the blue paint to the topmost chalky ledge. Classic!

Sit start matched on lowest edge. Hard shoulder move gets you matched on peak feature. Continue moving up to Reignition.

Start on jug slot, move to small slot up left, step up, use crimps, crimp/pinch with thumb, more crimps and such, head towards fat jug up right, profit. Guessing at grade, let me know.

Start low on large flat pinchable edge. Move upward relatively direct on smaller edges. Mantle on top.

right in the middle of the ozzy boulder. climbs directly up obvious crack.

Start on edge. Move to lip and then mantle. 

This is the start variation to the classic 'Godfather' problem in the Hollywood bowl. Ends at the jug in the middle of the cave.

Start on Jugs to the left of Tree Problem. Traverse left until you get to good holds. Match and you're done.

Start on left edge of cave in curved right hand jug slot sidepull and left hand sidepull. Move directly up to pocket shelf. Top out. V3 in the DCA. Topping out rightward feels much harder than somewhat left.

Start on juggy horizontal, use big reaches or high feet and continue up and right on juggy horizontals.

Sit start, then long move out right to sloper. Match here, then move out to sidepull(jug breaks are off). Then out and right to seam. Finish up through Reignition for top out. 

SDS, first move is the crux. Lock off left foot, power up to crimpy hold, match on it,  then use slopers via arete.

Traverse the right lip of the Hollywood Bowl and top at the middle. Really fun problem.

starts on the right side of the ozzy boulder to the left of tommy H. starts in deep jug about 6ft off the ground and then follows holds through the orange strak on the rock

Small crimps with a short dyno to a  horizontal crack

First off, it's not actually a V7. Start matched on the right with a heel hook. Now traverse left without using any hands/feet on the holds of Longshot. Top out.

 Link to Beta: youtube.com/watch?v=dAsfYDn…

Stand start right hand on trianglular pinch with left hand on lower crimp. move up left side of cave then towards the middle to a large shelf. Top out with ridged sloper and holds above the shelf.

This problem tests your core strength. You're never more than four feet off the ground. Traverse right to left. Start off with a heel-hook with your right foot. Start matched on a good jug, move left for a crossover with your right hand.

 V1 moves- but don't let this rating fool you. Pumpy, endurance, technique- all around spectacular problem.

This makes up the main area of MRP. Everything from the well known "Gill Problem" (AKA Vast Understatement), to the V11 Reignition can be found in this area. All of MRP is bouldering with the exception of three top rope routes on the "Bolt Boulder". The rock is your typical Alabama Sandstone--good for toughening up those hands. Slopers are found throughout, along with some sketchy top-outs on a few problems. Everything can be found here from V0 to V11, however most problems are in the range of V4-V6.
