Worm Up aka My First Highball

V0, Boulder,  Avg: 2.4 from 30 votes
FA: unknown
Colorado > Ft Collins > Carter Lake > Mars Boulder

Description

Directly in the middle of the low roof on Mars Boulder is this nice line. Climb from the jugs in the middle of the cave up to a seam. Once your feet are over the lip, it quickly gets much easier. Either top out up and slightly left, reverse the moves, or jump back down - hope you've gotta pad or have good knees.

Protection

A pad and spotters are nice. High but easy to top out.

[Hide Comment] HIGHBALL. All the holds are great, but it truly is high. Stay calm and remember you are on jugs. Jan 21, 2012
