The Heart Boulder, Lincoln Woods

     The Heart Boulder is located just off the right side of the spur road, about 200 yards beyond its intersection with the loop road.

1. Heart Stem Gem, VB: Start in the shallow corner, stem upward using the good hold.

2. Wishful Thinking, V1: Start the same as for #1 but do not use the good hold. After stemming up, move left on to the steep slab and finish up.

3. Heart of Glass, V4: Climb the obvious rounded arete. One of the best problems at the woods. Variation: Sit start, V8.

4. The Scoop, V6: Climb the scoop right of #3. Variation: Sit start, V8.

Variation: Start on #4, but move right on to the arete. A sit start to this has not been done.

5. Straight Edge, V4: Start sitting at big crack. Move up and right to climb the arete.

6. Heart Crack, V0: Start sitting or standing and climb the left angling crack. Variation: veer right onto the face between the crack and the arete.

7. Chris' Traverse, V4: Start just left of the arete. Traverse right using low small holds. Finish up #6 or its variation. Combine with #5 for a real challenge (V6).
