The first two photos show Tulip boulder itself, and the other two show the nearby Tennies Mantle boulder. The best downclimb, at least in my opinion, is between the two boulders. Note: the water level is currently pretty high, making the first 4 problems a bit riskier at the moment.
1. Center Face (V2): Starting on a jug approximately within the yellow box, go straight up using a knob and a jug.
2. Dankie Doobie (V4): Starting on the same jug go right to a gaston, and up to a crimp/jug, topping out right.
3. The Furious Climber Named Andrea (V5): Starting on the same jug, go left to a bad sloper with the left hand, bump to a good crimp, and top out on the Warm Up Problem.
4. The Tulip (V7): Starting on two small holds approximately within the blue box, traverse right without using the high knob, and finish on Dankie Doobie.
5. Warm Up Problem (V0-V1): Basically climb anywhere within the green box.

6. Maui (V0): Sit start in the crack and move straight up on good holds.
6a. Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor (a.k.a. MAOI) (V3): Start same as Maui, but all large holds associated with the crack are off.

7. Scum of the Heel (V2): Start on a left hand crimp and a right hand undercling/sidepull, and move straight up to the lip.
8. Tennies Mantle (V0): Start on jugs in the center and make one move up to a jug on the lip. A little silly, but I guess do it if you're there.

9. Santero (V0): Sit start on the left end and traverse the lip up and right to top out at Tennies Mantle. A great introduction to using slopers and finding small feet. Much easier in the winter!
Fun variation on MAOI, starting all the way back and traversing the crack out. |
