 Basically the goal is to move up left from the start. You have to find your way around and over the bulge. That is the crux of the problem. Start with a left hand on the sloping ledge, and right hand on the low crimp. Sit start again, may be a little less of a sit if you are shorter.

 This one is a bit more contrived. Only use the low right foot for a bomber heel. Then don't use that ledge after. Also, only use the right hand hold to begin the boulder, it is off for a foot. I've x'd out the areas on the photo. Harder if you are short.

Sit start at the obvious left crimp and right sidepull crimp as seen on the photo's. Follow the line directly up and through the face. Throw a high right heel to make your way up, but no standing on that same right ledge to help you top out. You gotta climb that slab!

Start on the low left incut. This is where your left hand and left heel goes. Then you have a high right hand on the sloper, you have a small buldge where you can catch the sloper more securely. Pulling up into the start is the first hard part. Then match the sloper, shift the hands, find a better left heel, then big drive up into The Dark Side finish. 

 Just don't use The Dark Side's starting crimp for any reason, or right most juggy crimp. Anything below the waist foot wise is on. The photo's have more info.

There is real granite in Chicago! It comes in the compact size of a lowball boulder. So for the difficulty of each problem to be true, you have to follow the "contrived" rules for each line. It's so small that otherwise you can turn everything into a v1-2. Also, you'd be missing out in some really fun movement! So bare with the rules to each line. All they are is maybe omit using one side of the boulder, or only use a hold to start on.  Otherwise, when you can't get away from the city, here is a real boulder to play on!
