| Camp Mantle (6A) | Stand at lip (high slopers a foot right of the fallen tree) and mantle. Can't heel hook without dabbing so this gets forced into a direct press mantle on good rock. |

| Runestone Right (7C) | Same start as Runestone but make a big move right to a crimp on the arête. Eventually this also finishes the same as Runestone so it is a bit of a contrivance. Rough on the shoulder too. Calf deep snow on the hike but thankfully this boulder was fully melted out. |

| Cutlass (5C) | Bad rock but a neat feature. Starts standing at the good low hold on the right arête. The point at the top is not to be trusted, neither is the fridge sized block that forms most of the top of this boulder. |

| Runestone (6C) | SDS with a LH sidepull edge above a bunch of choss. RH uses a good incut crimp. Go left to the arête and climb up. Snow made for a much tougher finishing slab. |

| Double-Dealer (7A) | Lots of snow removal and a freak change in beta for the quick send at the end of the day. SDS with underclings to traverse right using the seam and the lip above. Finishes at The 36th Triangle. |

| Cobra Clutch (7B+) | Stand start at good seam to access crimps on the overhanging bulge. Finishes as Coiled to Strike does. Sent surprisingly on a warm-up go without the pad under the finish, no chalkbag and snow and ice on some of the topout. Huh. |

| Declassified (6B) | Just past Coiled to Strike and visible on the right hillside, this climb starts under the short overhang matched with a sidepull undercling. Contrived to not start with the arête or the higher, but reachable, slot just above the starting hold. Establish on the slab next to the tree for path of least resistance. |

| Coiled to Strike (7B+) | SDS with nothing for the right and a decent left crimp. Traverses right to crux followed by a pretty tall finish. On the only trailside boulder problem...you'll land on the trail if you fall from the top. |

| Nephilim (7C+) | SDS at the arête to traverse across the overhang on a rail that leads into stretchy moves and a crimpy finish to a JUG. Probably will go down as my favorite of BCC. |
