Freestanding Rock

One of the more sandbagged boulders in Central Park (at least on the lower end of the grade spectrum). Short and sweet problems: four or five moves on sharp holds, followed by generally easy topouts. Most problems start from sit-starts though, and sometimes getting off of the ground can be the hardest part. Admittedly, the grades sometimes make more sense after spending an hour and a half puzzling over the beta, but good luck convincing yourself that the crimpy overhung arete is a V1...

This boulder is awesome for when you have an hour or two to yourself, with no spotter or crashpad. If you try climbing it wet, good luck.
