Description

This short but engaging 3 bolt sport climb ascends the slightly overhanging face of a large boulder on the west end of the Mini-Mall complex. Powerful lockoffs gain large incut edges enroute to the top. The climbing and movement is similar to "Sonic Temple" and "Realm of the Flying Monkeys" in Oz.
