Description
On the South face of Phallic Rock (The Mod Pod) is this fine problem.
The start is to the right of the crack. The first move is a long reach or dyno to the shallow, positive pocket. There are good holds up high, but topping out will get your attention. The problem is on the face you can't see to the left of the picture of the whole boulder. This problem is also called “Pocket Rocket” in Bob Horan’s books.
