"Heart Shaped Box" Box Csnyon

Add Photo  Add Comment    Printer View

Description 

Though the top out is very tall, the crux is only a body length off the ground and then the angle relaxes to just under vertical. This problem combines the trickier, more powerful alternative start of Edges with a balancy, thin crux to go up to make a more pure and aesthetic line.

Location 

Sit start down in the hole on the South side of the West face of Angela boulder. Do the long reaches to achieve the heart-shaped two hand flake jug. Go straight up on small holds using balance and precision, then relax and top out. Descent to the East and North.
