Blockhead is on the face just to the right of Paperboy Centerfold (obvious dihedral). Follow bolt line up through face holds and incipient cracks, then pull over a small roof (crux). Follow face holds to a two bolt anchor at the top. This is one of the better face climbing routes at Falling Rock.

This route is probably best to toprope, but it can be lead with about half a dozen quickdraws.
If you think this route was fun, walk along the top or bottom of the cliffs to the west and look for a large overhang (roof). It is a great climb, also a work out.
to LTomer, would know what grade that overhang goes at, I noticed a couple bolts on the roof but only one set went completely up the wall, are the anchors easy to get too or must it be led first? any info would be much appreciated
To caleb, The roof is about a 11d/12a i think, I dont think there are bolts going all the way up from directly underneath the roof into the face, but there are anchors above it, if you walk along the edge of the cliff from the parking walk until you see the huge boulder at the bottom that has a crack in the middle and there are 2 closed shunt anchors here on top of the wall, they are very easy to get to.
