Start as per "Rhapsody" but off of the start, trend right into the credit card flake and finish as per "American Express." 

  Not sure if this one is easier, the same, or harder than American Express. Let us know!

Face Off

Such a fun problem! In the middle of the long steep face, locate the close tree and middle block beneathe the face. Just to the right of the low close block, find the deep flat jug to sit start matched upon. 

  Off the start follow a thin hold or two to the next jug, then to the nice scoop sloper at the lip. Mantle-press over the scooped lip to reach the higher/back seam and mantle direct.

This traverse is so much fun! To the far left of the steep face, identify the long left trending features that lead up to the left arête corner lip. Sit start low at the base of the trending features with a left hand on the nice, deep jug side-pull, and a right hand on a sloper. Cross over to the good crimp and follow the holds left to top out near the left corner under the tree.

To the far right of the steep face of the Humble Pie Boulder (right of Rhapsody, left of Sarene Arête) find the nice, deep slot just left of the arête. Stand start here and trend left across some flat holds to gain the "credit card" crimp flake. Climb up from here past a couple of other edges and slots to the lip. Traverse a bit right to some better edges for the mantle.

This is a beautiful, sleek arête. The actual corner of the boulder is one arête, and this one is the next, long, sharp corner arête.  

  Stand start on the top of the large "spear point" feature lower on the arête. Ride the arête up and left to top out over the nice juggy top.

Start as per "Humble Pie Traverse" and pull the first couple of moves. Note the small-ish pocket with a crimp-edge undercling n the top of it. Once able to latch the pocket undercling with your right hand, do so and dyno up to the top lip. Top out to the right of the dark iron bubble.

This one is pretty great from start to finish. To the left of the close tree in the middle of the boulder, search very low to the base of the steep face for the large, thin pocket feature. Sit start matched in the upper undercling along the rim of the low pocket. 

  Pull on and reach the thin, awesome flake. Work up the overhead line of holds to the scoop/pocket at the lip. Reach up and back to the long perfect sloper seams, and top out.

So good! This is the direct line for "American Express" and shares the same start. Match the deep, thin slot and pull up to the corner pinch and bump, or reach all the way through to the flake pinch. Latch the sketchy looking, but solid flake pinch and pull through to a higher, left crimp. Bump up and left again to a higher, better crimp, and then latch the lip to top out as per "American Express."

The Humble Pie Boulder is the middle boulder in the Four Faces Area. 

  This boulder has two wonderful aretes and a long, shorter, steep face full of fun problems and interesting features.
