Serengeti


Description 

Possibly the best moderate in the canyon.

Start on the undercling/sidepull fin on the left of the overhanging face. Move up and right on sloped dishes up to a big move off a high left-hand crimp to a sloper (crux; an intermediate right-hand crimp can be used). After pulling thru the crux, gain the 'Africa Flake' (jugs/rest) and find nice positive pockets and edges to the top as the angle eases off.


Location 

Southeast face of the 'Serengeti Boulder', the first obvious boulder problem you see while approaching. Look for the Africa-shaped flake about 10 feet off the ground. This boulder problem faces down-canyon.

A great problem. On busy weekends the crimps at the crux will get caked in chalk, so bring a brush - a soft one!
