Description
This climb isn't actually on the Zsa Zsa Gabor Memorial Boulder but is found on another large boulder directly behind it (visible in photo).
A reachy start on jugs leads into a devious crux past the first bolt which heads left to awkward lieback moves past the second bolt. Continue liebacking past the third bolt to gain a small ledge (optional 0.5" cam placement); above large flakes lead to the anchor. Descent is via a walk- off down the right side of the boulder.
Although short the moves are engaging and played out on good rock in a pleasant setting. One star out five.
