Description Crux is the beta, work your own out because everyone's is different for this climb. The climb is amongst the majority of the boulders in Boulder Natural (an area referred to as Gandalf's Lair). It is an obvious up and left slanting lower crack the follows the arete and jugs to the top of the boulder (downclimb route). Lots of climbers find the lower sidepull helpful to use with your left hand to pull the crux move out of the horizontal handcrack.
Location Gandalf's Lair (look for smooth, well-chalked, hand/finger horizontal crack).
Protection Pads, landing is comfortable

| This problem is certainly not a hand crack, it's a mix of face and fingerlocks. That being said, it is absolutely classic. |

| Maybe my memory is going and maybe it's not but for some strange reason it seems that the really bad foot used to make the cross into the upper crack, of this problem, has grown and got bigger...
Anyone else notice this... I just don't recall the foot being this massive edge...

| I was working this the other day, and when I arrived the start he below the crack had a crack in it was popped off with a touch. Although after reading the beta listed it seems that everyone starts on the crack anyways... Certainly doesn't seem to effect the grade |
