Several excellent problems exist. Pinhead follows the prominent fingertip crack along the west face. Fingerlocks up crack and mantle to top. Downclimb east face.

| More like a low 5.10, for what it's worth. Personally, being the gumbie that I am when it comes to bouldering (and most other climbing too, but especially bouldering -- I'm one of those who can climb all the VBs, but still get spanked by most of the V0s), I really like what Gingery does in her guide, giving things YDS ratings through 10 (effectively 10-), then moving up through the V ratings. |

| This problem isn't even the best of them on the boulder. The fun slabby problem just to the left is a great thin experience too. Going even futher left- it's really fun to mantle up over the bulge...undercling pockets to sloper over the top. Great warm up boulder, and you can safely work it yourself if your going solo. |

| Damn, some hatin' on this problem. I thought it was fun, just high enough to make you think. Good practice for beginning crack climbers... |
