Description If you don't like crimps, try another problem, but the chalked-up shape of a crescent moon on the rock might suck you in for at least one try. Grab the crimps in the moon, pull on the wall, and dyno for the lip. Sounds easy, right? Alternately, pull on, then gaston a right hand below the lip before popping for the top for an easier time.
For the full value, a soft V6, sit down on some decent crimps and crank into the stand start on the moon.
Location At the top of the hill in Round Pond, in the alcove created by Jelly Rock and the Hemlock Boulder, next to Brett's Problem & Gadgetry, across from Maxim. The crescent moon is easy to spot on the short face.

| I use the gaston every time. I think the stand might be hard 3 or even 4. The sit is awkward as hell until you get it juuuuust right. Sweeping the leaves away from the base of the boulder might uncover the feet you need. |

| i use the gaston as well... i think shooting just to the top would definitely make the grade harder... but fun none the less :] |

| yeah i love crimps and this thing has always felt hard for the grade. i think the sit start makes more sense. idk why the stand start is in the book, its kinda pointless in my opinion. |

| I was told this is v6 or at least v5? I am pretty sure v3 is botched...anyone else agree with this? How can a rating be so off, even for pawtuckaway.... |

| Jason, the sit is a soft V6 and the stand (from the "smiley face" crimp) is a hard V3. |

| Agreed. V5/6 for the sit. As for the stand start, v3/4 with the gaston. I don't know if it's that much harder without the gaston. You just gotta really want the dyno. I use the gaston, because it's not worth losing skin on the dyno (which has happened to me!).
Personally I like the sit start better, but the stand start is probably more obvious and accessible to more people, so it makes sense to have both options (in my opinion). |
