Description 

Stand start with good side-pulls and work your way up left to slopey arete, finish the slick top-out. Super cool.


Location 

First main boulder problem up hill and left from boulder by trail.


Protection 

Pads and spotters. The landing is flat, but is large and rocky.

Cool boulder Steve, good directions. Top-out is a little heady and would help to have more pads and spotters.

No way man, I wouldn't top it out without a spot.

I will never forget when Huston peeled off this thing at the mantle. Don't forget the epic head over heels fall Emerson took at The Zipper the same day!
Classic.

This is a must do! Hit it when the conditions are good and it will be way more fun.
