Sit start low on the right side of the main face (just to the right of middle). notice the long cut-out ledge extending from the low right of the face, to the near middle. just above this cut-out is the starting crimp rail. (same start as "season Premiere")   make a big move off the start crimp to the right to another crimp edge that is duel sided. from this far right crimp, toss up to a huge, obvious slopy ledge that follows right into an ingrown tree. go straight up from the huge ledge to the top out.

Sit start low, and almost in the middle of the boulder. notice to the right, bottom of the boulder there is a large cut-out slot ledge. at the top left of this ledge, there will be a crimp rail, and this is the start (same for season Finale).  

  Off the start move left to a thin, higher crimp. Follow through to the higher, thinner crimp. Use the harsh pinch or blast straight to the high left, better crimp before the top-out knob.

I realize this is only a mantle problem, but I think its a lot of fun so I gave it 2 stars... feel free to disagree. 

  Sit start on the rear, uphill-most overhanging nose on the back side portion that is on the rear of the boulder, and under the end portion that is steep and overhanging. start with hands matched normally on the slopey lip of the boulder and heelhook up. 

  ....Mantle....

Sit start on the rear, uphill-most, overhanging nose, on the back side portion that is on the rear of the boulder, and under the end portion that is a steep overhang. start with hands matched on the slopey lip of the boulder, and with a heelhook up.    the first move is to commence the lip traverse to the right, leading around the slopey nose. traverse to the front of the boulder, transferring to the top lip up and top out to the right in front of the skinny tree.

Excited from sending "Season Premier" after a broken hold left it as a project several years ago, a harder start was added. 

  Maybe not as fun(?), but it ads one more hard-ish crimp move (if the standard line wasn't enough). 

  To the left of the standard start on the juggy in-cut rail, find the right hand side-pull and a further left low crimp edge. Cross up to the higher right crimp, and finish as per standard season premier.

Pretty frustrating but fun when you get it. 

  Find the middle of the blank main face and look up to see the small ledge just below the top of the boulder. to the left a bit at chest height are thin, small crimps. use this to stabilize your jump... this is not a fun run, or run and jump type problem, but feel free to try that out if you want. 

  Just scum a foot on a hold and hop up to the slopey lip. hang on and move to the top to find the bomber back hold.

This line is super addictive and waaaaay more fun than it appears at first glance. More of a "can you do it" party trick than an actual boulder problem.

 At the front face towards the left, look way down at the base of the boulder. Follow the low edge and where the boulder meets the ground is where you will want to start. The large flat ledge below is used as a foot, and any combination of tiny chips and ripples will be key for a right starting foot.

 Inspect the featureless face for any holds that can be used for hands. As a hint, the tiny two finger chip high and left may help, and a high right hand pinch can be nice to use as well. Also multiple thin fingertip crimps are found low and right. This is a one move wonder... Just pull on, establish, and fire to the top. good luck.

Post factum: We did this problem again today and found an alternate start with the same high left hand, but a way lower crimp undercling for your right. Same grade, different start. Pick your poison.

Sit start very low to the ground on a long ledge, just to the left of a nearby, skinny tree. start with a right hand-foot match (heel-hook) on the rail, left foot flagged out, and a left hand out left on a sloping rail as a crimp.   move off the ledge to match the sloping crimp, and then make a far move up to the top of the boulder to top out in front of the skinny tree.

The Episode Boulder is the boulder to the right and just past the Thews Boulder and it has the possibility for many crimpy problems.
