Working to keep the butt off the ground.


Description 

This is a sweet problem, right next to the Stanturd Route. I think this and Stanturd Route are the best routes in the area. You start on two good ledges deep in the little cave where the boulder meets the side of the hill. You move out to the sloper with the crimp, then move up the the two finger incut slot. Then, pull up with your heel hook and reach your left hand up to the jagged pebbles on the slot. Put your feet up o the sloper than reach up and top out. Don't be fooled, the topout is a little harder than it looks, take your time.


Location 

Look at the Stanturd Route for info.


Protection 

Great setup, close to the ground and easy no spotter needed. 3 pads are great, just watch out for the dab when turning the bulge.
