This is a great, little warm-up on the SW Arete of the Distance Boulder. SDS on a bomber, double handed jug, then 3/4 pad crimps and a huge left hand hueco will get you up and over the lip.

Descend with an easy walkoff.

Distance Southwest Arete

Distance Overhang

Distance Overhang Sit Start

Northeast Arete

Climb through the obvious bulge on the right side of the face of the Distance Boulder from a stand start.  The crux is making the big move to the lip.

This problem climbs through the obvious overhang/bulge on the distance boulder at the Fountain Bleu area.  This boulder is located directly down the hill from the main cluster of boulders (cave direct, fountain lip traverse, stage boulder). Start sitting on a slopey dish/edge and make a move up to a sharp/painful two finger pocket. Moving passed this pocket is the crux. Finish on Distance Overhang, moving straight up.

This is on the Distance Boulder, a lone boulder Northeast from the main Fountainbleau area less than 100 yards away.

On the Northeast arete, climb up some pockets and incuts.  A sit-down-start makes the route more interesting.   A picture will help when it comes....
