Due to the well deserved popularity and incredibly high concentration of boulders & problems of the Dairy Farm Boulders, the pictures have been sized as large as possible in order to make problem finding as easy as possible. Large pictures kill bandwidth which discourages use. Because of this, the area has been broken into East, South & North pages.

15 | “GALLON CHALLENGE” [>V7?] This is the sit start to CRYING OVER SPILT MILK [14]. Start on the obvious solid crimp rail down and right of the arete and find a way to work your way onto the arete.

16 | PROJECT [>V9?] Between GALLON CHALLENGE [15] & THE PROW [17-19] is a blank face. Closer to THE PROW is a right facing pinch at about eye level. Employ winter friction to float to the top.

17 | THE PROW MANTLE [V0] Jump to the lip and crunch out the mantle.

18 | THE PROW CROUCH START [V6] Start crouched with your left hand on the big crimp on the left side of the arete about chest high and your right hand on the infinitesimal rounded crimp at about eye level. Squeeze your pecs hard, get established and make the moves to the lip for the mantle.

19 | THE PROW SIT START [V8] The true PROW problem finally established by Conrad Schaefer. Actually start on your ass on the only two, very small holds that squeeze the arete. This is the most interesting variation which is far more complicated and involves far more movements than you might think.

20 | FIGHT CRACK [V4] Start well inside the dihedral underneath the little roof formed between the Blue Bell & Haagan Das boulders. Lieback, stem & jam your way to the top.

50 | PROJECT [>V6?] In between FIGHT CRACK & BLUE BELL ARETE. Small crimpy crystals on a slightly overhung face.

21 | BLUE BELL ARETE [V4] Climb the left side of the arete. Although short, this problem is amazingly tricky and requires good balance.

51 | AMY’S ARETE [V5] This is the mirror image of BLUE BELL ARETE but houses more comfortable holds. Try exploring any start you like, but the established start uses an interesting undercling/sidepull crimp/pinch plus the arete. The sit version is conceivable?

24 | MILD CHEDDAR [V1] On this left-leaning crack system, start on the right side near the tree and top out diagonally left via the left-most crack.

25 | LAYBACK 101 [V0-] Around the corner from MILD CHEDDAR is this right leaning layback.

26 | OOPS I MISSED THE BUCKET [V0-] Right of the layback, start on a huge sandstony knob and move straight up. Rather unique for the farm.

27 | CALF PRACTICE WALL [V0-] Aptly named for the ease of climbing without your hands. This is the downclimb for all the problems on this boulder and is often used for all the boulders in the dairy farm.

28 | FLATULANCE [V1/2] Start the same as LACTOSE INTOLERANT but head straight up over the lip instead of traversing out right. Don’t let its short stature deceive you into thinking it’s a gimme. Use the obtrusive boulder underneath the flake for hands/feet as needed.

29 | LACTOSE INTOLERANT [V4] Start low on the big right-arching flake, move right via underclings and bad feet to the far right side of the prow and then top it out. I highly recommend exploring an above the head foot cam for the top out : )
