Carol working the tight hands / off fingers topout...


Description 

Behind Cyclops rock is this awesome boulder problem. A sit start in a cave starts you out 10' of finger crack through the roof in the cave, to a tight-hands swing around the lip and then fingers, off fingers and tight hands lead to a funky top out that is for many the crux.


Protection 

Mostly low to the ground but the topout is about 12' and a pad is probably desirable.

Certainly in the top 10 boulder problems in JTree. Very unique.

One of my all time favorites. Tape up if you're working it. Thanks to Mike Paul for the excavation.

Fantastic problem, a must do. Different cruxes for different people, and multiple ways to do those cruxes. Many opportunities for advanced trickery or goes straightforward too.
