Description/Beta Suggest change

This problem starts at the bottom of the obvious crack in the middle of the boulder. You start with your left foot splayed. First move is your right hand to a little crimp followed by bumping it up to a pretty good right hand pinch. Adjust your feet and cross your left hand over your right to a good hold in the crack. Then continue to follow the crack until you get to the arete. With your left hand on a jug and left foot in a pretty good pocket you pull up with your left arm, while slapping the arete with your right hand using friction instead of an actual hold. After this, you move to a high right foot and carefully stand tall on that foot. Next.move your left hand to a little pebble then the always appreciated "Thank God" top-out. The crux move on this problem would be slapping your right hand around the arete and standing up on the high right foot. The fall would be scary so the more pads the better and bring a good spotter. To get down, jump off the boulder onto a crash pad that you set on the ground.

Location Suggest change

Just right/south of the Gorilla Boulder. The start is just at the the bottom of the obvious crack in the middle of the boulder.

Protection Suggest change

Two or more bouldering Pads at least, and a good spotter.
