The crux of Social Distortion


Description 

Just right of the arete of Social Outcast (5.12a/b), climb past the bolts up the steep wall on crimps and a good, sidepull rail (this is a boulder problem that most say is easier for tall folk) mantel on to a really nice rest ledge and rest up for one more boulder problem.... Step to the left and clip a bolt then make a few hard moves to a good hold and pull the same last move as Outcast.... A cool toss to a good hold and an airy, final mantel.... Clip chains to the right....

The moves are really fun...Though not as popular as it's close neighbor, it is worth your time....


Location 

The bolt line just right of the obvious arete of Social Outcast (5.12a/b).... Follow bolts to ledge, then step right, and do a few moves to the same top as Outcast....


Protection 

6 bolts to chains with lower off biners fixed...
