As you hike between Boulder Natural and Lower Slabs, there are a few boulders along the side of the trail with a few nice routes, the favorite being Overlooked (V4).... There are a few moderates and a few super hard routes here as well.... A good place to go on a cold day to soak up the southern exposure.... It can get hot, hot, hot in the summer....
UPTATE: Lots of new routes have been cleaned behind Overlooked... Most of the new routes are moderates from v1-v3... To get to them go over or around overlooked and climb over a boulder with a hand to fist sized crack in it... When you get over that you will see a cave where Mrs. Lovett v2+ is (my favorite new route here)... To the left of that is an alcove that houses a few cool routes like Shaving The Pope V2... and to the right you will find Fleet Street V3 and its brother Shadows, Everywhere v3... More to come for sure...

The Classics
Mountain Project's determination of some of the classic, most popular, highest rated routes for Trailside Boulders:
I cleaned this line out from under tons of dirt, and small plant life not really knowing how well it would climb... i was very happy with the outcome...The problem climbs right to left along the lip of a cave following a series of different holds, heelhooks and fun moves to a nice top out right before you run in to a tree...maybe a hard lower start could be done but this start works fine for me... try it and suggest a grade...Video link...

i think he was taliking about the routes that were already posted mike...
Matt, i believe it's lower cliff you saw. There is are 6-10 lines gear and mixed (room for more!). I've done a few routes on the right side and I imagine there are some listed here. The old p-way book has them listed out and maybe the stewart green (climb new england) has them. This is also the area of most dependable ice in the park.
