Hitting the sloper from the right-hand pinch


Description 

The Happies' hardest... perhaps the hardest on the Eastside, or the country for that matter...

Sit-start under the low, sweeping roof on thin pockets/underclings. Climb slightly left under the low roof into a huge right-hand crossover to a good pinch from a bad left-hand pocket (crux). Make a big reach out left to the sloper, bumping to a good dish to gain a good crimp and more usable dishes. Work your way thru the bulge using crimps and shallow pockets where it turns vertical before the top-out. Easier said than done...


Location 

Just uphill and east of the 'Savannah Boulder'. As the cave is not visible from the 'Savannah Boulder', walk right around the first boulder up the hill and find the obvious, giant, sweeping roof facing up-canyon. 'Goldfish' starts at the far end of the roof (left side) down low.
