Description

This area has one traverse problem that's still an open project without a V grade as far as I know, which is why there's only a general description of the spot. I am just sharing to encourage others to attempt it.

The problem traverses the left hand wall of a cave that's 20+ feet in length. Start at the mouth and continue on evenly spaced pockets that lead you to a few decent ledges before you finally top out through a window near the end of the cave. The second half is a V4. There are terrible foot holds throughout. The crux is just before you move through a narrow passageway that leads to the second half of the problem. This things is about 15+ moves long, but it never gets more than a few feet off the ground. It's fair to say this will be more difficult than V6, but to what degree I am not sure. It is so much fun to try.

Getting There

Follow the upper trail to the main bouldering area, passing the first vertical section of sandstone wall until you hit the cave to your right, directly across the trail from a large cedar tree that also marks the spot of the Pride Rock Boulder. You can't miss it.
