[Hide Comment] Thanks Spencer,
If you have some more accurate coords let me know and I can adjust, or if you think you can see it well enough on the map hit that 'improve this page' link in the top right and you can slide it up! Aug 21, 2020

[Hide Comment] Hey, anyone know anything about a short block right behind the bowling ball? Compression moves to a big throw? Nice landing, and a sweet line, but nothing on here about it? Mar 25, 2021

[Hide Comment] Hey Mike, I came here searching for the same boulder since I came across it yesterday, but there's nothing online. In the old guidebook by Isaac (PDF) on page 97, the boulder and line you're referring to is "Bowling Shoes". There's also a V2 to the right of it with the horizontal rail called "Arcade". There's also a harder line with the same start as the V4, but exits left. It was one techy & heinous topout.

Update: I added the 3 boulder problems Bowling Shows Left, Bowling Shoes, and Arcade. Nov 1, 2021
