The Riverside boulder proper is home to classic advanced line 'Shivers' and intermediates 'Jim' and the classic LCC slab 'Feck'. Across the bridge behind 'Blue Steel' are the advanced classic 'The Buzz' and it's elite variations as well as "Alzheimer's' in the Buzz zone. Further west on teh Far Side boulder popular intermediate 'Seems Easy' can be found along with several good moderte face problems on the back, and nearby the advanced arete 'Surprise' and it's elite variations are well liked. Newer boulders up in the Expadition zone are mostly in the moderate and intermediate grades, but a hand full of harder problems like 'The Sorting Hat' and 'JRich' have been established. West world has a few good lines and several smaller blocks awaiting development. Head downhill from the roadside parking. There is a trail right by the Syringe Boulder to reach Riverside.
