Description

Move up a vertical face on positive horizontal slashes. For the first couple moves, do what you can with thin, undercut feet. Good warmup, or a fun problem for those who (like me) prefer their boulders a bit easier than V6.

Park at the Cap Rock parking area and head up the left (north) fork of the nature trail. Collieherb will be just off to your right before the trail curves around the large rock formation; on the NW face, so you'll basically be staring right at it.

Protection

Nice clean landing. Pad might be nice, spotter probably not necessary

[Hide Comment] I actually think this is one of the best problems V2 and under in the park. Actually climbs on decent holds with a decent landing, pretty nice! Also recommendable in the area would be Picture Perfect... May 14, 2003
