Description 

While this might not technically be in the Masters Area, it is in the vicinity. This boulder is on the right hand side of the road, set down the hill a bit. After turning the corner on the road, making the Television Screen/Tower Two visible, this little boulder is about 100 ft ahead, again on the right. Tough start.


Protection 

Gear for TR, but this is a boulder problem for most.

Goodness guys, this is the definition of a 5.9 crack! This doesn't compare with Robbins Crack's bottom section crux at 5.10a.

If you sit start on the crack, it probably adds a letter grade or two of difficulty.
