Description

This is an impressive effort by Eric Zschiesche. The blank looking face to left of Monster was an aid climb. Now, a balls out high ball boulder problem. It's not "git on it" but "GIT UP IT!!!!"

Protection

Stack up as many pads as ya got, and do not fall.

On a fine May day in 1985,... Eric Zschiesche sent the classic boulder problem. Sans pads( What took sooo long with that idea?).

Just a few corrections... The Zipper is to the left of The Monster on the next section of rock over. It has one of the most tantalizing dynamic moves I have done at the lake. Even after Eric showed me the beta (which seemed unrealistic at best), it took a pretty big handful of tries to coil my core and release the snakes. Aside from Eric, Marcos Nunez has done it, and another guy whose name I forget. We all agreed it checked in at solid V8. That was a long time ago... Aug 15, 2006

Impressive send by Eric without pads. Hard moves but easier than other V8's that Eric has established. Apr 22, 2010

Never forget the epic whipper Nate Emerson took on this at Todd's birthday challenge! Nate split the two spotters and talus surfed down the hill for 30ft! May 5, 2011
