Johnnie working her way up on Solarium


Description 

Just to the right of the arete (Beam Me Up Scottie), crouch-start on some big edges and head up and slightly right. Climb past a couple sets of thin pockets and make a toss for the lip. Unlocking the sequence is the crux.

An area classic and a must-do for the grade.


Location 

West face of the 'Solarium Boulder', left of center, just right of the left arete.

Steeper than it looks. The crux move up to the lip will feel hard for the grade for those shorter in stature.

Definitely the hardest V3 I've ever done.

A hold has recently broken (the 2nd large side pull) which makes this more sustained, but doesn't change the grade.
