Bouldering has always been my first love.
All of the above are one-off FAs within 15 miles of Kayenta (that's my story, and I'm sticken to it . . . )
Well,ok, that last one is a project: Layaway off the diminishing rail using a heel or toe-hook for the left foot, then make an awkward all-out (total committment)dyno up and right to a sloping arete and finishing mantel.
Maybe if I had a spotter and a pad, I'd be more willing to go for it.
Post 'em up . . .

why do you need a pad if you're going to deck in the shade? shade is much softer than full sun..

Hey REEOTCH,
This is your brother. I'll trade you problems. You can raise a teenager (your nephew) and I'll cut my hands up on some rock. :)
P.S. I like this site. Looks like climbing is almost as fun as surfing.

Yeah, right, you're gonna have to do better than that.
Yep, munge, that is indeed Moonstone - the iconic Karen Rock, sight of the great Humboldt chiseling fiasco/controversy.
All the problems at Moonstone have become highballs with ugly landings. Sure was nice with about 5 extra feet of sand under you . . .

Kalimon, of course I know people have been climbing out here for decades. I have found the evidence.
Which problems have you done, and where are they? Usually it is not too difficult to tell on these very soft boulders if they have been climbed on or not. Usually.
I would be surprised if I was the first one to climb that crack I posted in the OP. It is easy to access and dead obvious. The rest of them, I'd be sruprised If I wasn't the FA. They are well hidden, off the road, and some on private property.
Evidence?

There is hope. In just 30 more years leaving this to go find a rock will not even occur to you; nor
will you remember having ever done so. JTM will remember however, and she will have a little smile that translates as,"Good! We finally got that straightened out."

I've been trying to ignore my problems Reeotch! Now with this thread I've started thinking about them again, non stop.
This is a big problem of mine & Relic's too. Not for weenies though, just piggies. Josh hiking it in this crappy photo.
Another few that are too much of a walk. But not really.
Chinchen, that first boulder looks like excellent quality buttermilk!

Project/ direct start of an old route. The base used to be a nightmare even with pad - now I saw somebody fully pry-barred all the land mines away. Working title is Stayfree cuz I want to do it padless (big dyno with either hand to the left will solve it).

One of the first boulders I messed around on here - going back like 15 years ago, but it holds up IMO. Bad feet, but once you got the stance, you blind dyno to the top. It's kind of a timing dependant thing.

Couple old FAs in the frame. On this side of obvious dike is super hard (I didn't name the route). On other side is essentially a single dyno in about 13 feet (2 moves to top out) IE: really high feet, and low hands type explosion. You can't rely on finger strength - you gotta be light weight in the first place. Called it Paratrooper. I have the FA on VHS somewhere, and it looks easy, but I have tried it recently, and its a total shut down lol.

This idea that boulders only produce "problems" (not routes) cracks me up anyway.
Like the word 'route' is copyrighted for roped climbing only.
Bad feet .. . timing sequence ... blind dyno blah blah blah

Every time I go to Flagstaff lately, I have to go visit Turkey Tanks, a little novelty bouldering area east of town off Leupp Road.
It's basalt, 10' - 20' tall, and has a 300' long traverse.
I usually have the place to myself. It's peaceful out there, and warm, a little microclimate. Nice!
