Fife about to make a large first move.


Description 

The very high problem at the top of the hill, kind of in a small courtyard of problems, opposite Gadgetry. Sit start with small crimps and cramped small feet. Make a powerful move up to the left, traverseto the right around the faint arete, then up and back to the left for the 20+ foot topout. After you grab the small horn the holds are pretty decent, but it's still pretty scary, dramatic, fun and hard.


Location 

At the top of the hill in the area, as you come up the trail it will be on the last of the really high boulders on your right (but you can't see the start while walking up.) The face you climb will be looking back down towards the pond and the horse farm trail.


Protection 

Lots of pads and lots of spotters, although the landing is actually not too bad.

This line is painful and crimpy, and nicely scary up high.

I screwed up the beta at the top, which makes it really exciting. Two good spotters will make you feel better about the slabby boulder under the arete.
