To the right of "Tip of the Spear" look for the deep, diagonal, right trending undercling shelf feature. At the bottom find the fat undercling chunk to start matched in. Work up the uderclings to the big flat feature at its underside.

  Cross big to the high pocket, then get out to the jug point. Travel up to the high juggy iron  at the lip and get to a hands free stance up at the nice round jugs higher up. Jump down.

Tip of the Spear

Spectacular movement, spectacular holds. When rounding the corner of the cliff-band as the wall becomes overhung (before the huge horizontal roof up high begins) look for the pointed "upside down spear point" feature that forms a perfect, fat, undercling pinch as its point.

 Sit start low (as per "Will of the People") under the Spear point-pinch, under the low overhang. Start holds are the undercling pocket and the higher chunk-pinch undercling.

 Follow up past jugs and toss to the huge spear-point pinch and undercling match. Ride the perfect side-pulls to the right, then surf out the long underclings further right. Once at the last undercling rail, blast out the roof to the chunk. At the tip of the chunk is and iron "cup" and above you will find a jug. Mantle, stand up, jump down.

Dry in the rain. Superb bouldering to a hang & drop  finish from the high hueco.

 In the middle of the Arena under the huge roof look for the enormous flake feature. On the front face start with a left hand on the long vertical flat loaf, right hand underclinging the jug at the bottom of the flake face. Smear a foot, pull on, match the vertical loaf, and lurch to the in-cut chunk far above. Make your way to the angled jug above, then work to the right to the hueco. Grab the hueco with control and drop. 

Walk to the more vertical face to the far left of the massive overhung roof. Look for the massive, gnarly hueco filled with iron bubbles and swirls, and this line is below that. You will pass the big stone patio under "Chocolate Arete" and the low undercut roof of "Wars To Come". As the low roof tapers to being just off the ground, at the lip of the steepness look for a right facing pointed in-cut crimp, and to the left a rounded crimp rail. Start low there.

 Pick up and dyno high to the round, positive hold. Cross over to the better hold, then use the side-pull to establish. Set up and launch big to the huge slot above. 

 Continue toward the gnarly, bubbled, massive hueco filled with iron. Touch the hueco controlled and jump down.

A highball thriller and one not to be taken lightly. Please rap down this feature and know your holds. And dont fall.

 When first walking to the Arena from Joyful and Ultra, this is the impressive prow to the far right (often a waterfall to its right when rain has been frequent). To the right of this overhung arete is a pebbly, curse-filled roof.

 On the right side of the belly of the overhang is an obvious huge hueco. Start matched here and work up the right arete of the overhang. At the first bulge trend to the front overhung nose, dead center of the large blunt prow. Stand on the ledge and consider the choices you have made, and the choice you now need to make. Jump off this high points to the pads below (a long drop), or venture forth into the void above.

 Continue up the face (find hidden opposing pockets to compress over high smear feet) and then don't fall up the next scrambly moves with no hand holds.

Spectacular movement, spectacular holds. When rounding the corner of the cliff-band as the wall becomes overhung (before the huge horizontal roof up high begins) look for the pointed "upside down spear point" feature that forms a perfect, fat, undercling pinch as its point.

 Sit start low (as per "Tip of the Spear") under the Spear point-pinch, under the low overhang. Start holds are the undercling pocket and the higher chunk-pinch undercling.

 Follow up past jugs and toss to the huge spear-point pinch and undercling match. Use the huge jug side-pulls to your right, and then toss left to the small in-cut crimp rail. Dyno out of the roof to the lip. Match the lip and toss high to a rail. Get to the large jug above, stand up, and then jump back down to pads victoriously.

A long varied cliff-band with a multitude of excellent bouldering opportunities. A handful top out, but many are hang-and-drop due to the higher cliffband above. Many lines here are climbable even when it is raining heavily.
