Description
In the middle and on the South Face of Orange Boulder is this great problem. Getting started on this problem is the crux.
Climb above using a mono, then huge jugs. The top part isn't hard but is very fun. Once below the top, collect yourself and top out with some cobbles on top. It is a great problem.
