Chris in the beginning of Gerbil in a Chute.


Description 

Climb up the dihedral: Start by reaching up to a decent, sharp sidepull with your left hand, right hand on a cobble...step up however you can onto the obvious good foothold at about waist height...get both feet up into the dihedral...fun technical climbing in the chute and a fun little jump move to the lip. Aptly named.


Location 

On the Punani boulder (see directions) directly to the right of Punani


Protection 

Perfect landing, a pad and a spotter for the topout is nice.

Setting up for the lip on Gerbil. Beautiful Winter/Spring day in the wood (3/8/08).

Hitting the lip. Match after this and then finish off the problem up and to the left.
