Favorite Crimp Boulders?

Hey All,

I'm trying to put together a 'crimp boulder tour' within the Boulder(ish) Area. I've avoided crimps for quite some time after a string of finger injuries, but have had the past 8 weeks to hangboard and work on fixing my neglected weakness, haha.

What are your favorite crimp lines?

I'm looking for Boulders within the V5-V10 range, but outside of that is welcome as well. More points if it's an isolated boulder, or something that doesn't get a lot of love.

Cheers!

One climb to the left of 606 is Horan Face, v6
Face out on King conquer boulder, v5
The lowball traverse on Beer Barrel is a 4, but the beta for that is a mystery to me

Yeah, I remember the crux move on Beer Barrel Traverse being something crazy for what the grade was. Really reachy last move before it goes up.
Thanks though guys.

Almost all the problems on Flagstaff's "Face Wall" boulder are crimpy with "broken wing" being a pure crimp line.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
