Face Full of Brian on the backside of the A-7 boul...

Description 

Face Full of Brian is a powerful overhanging problem in the main [Satellite] Boulders area. It is on the backside (East face) of the boulder that lies on the opposite side of the trail from the BBC. The side that faces the trail has an obvious cave/roof problem on it. The problem lies on the opposite side of that boulder.

The problem starts on two chalked crimps (undercling for the left hand). Fire up to either a tough sloper or a big undercling pocket, then fight to get your feet up, and move up and left to top out. The initial moves are very powerful, and require lots of body tension.

Protection 

1 crashpad for sure, and a second wouldn't hurt.
