Description
This problem is on the Falls Trail near the waterfall on the west side of the creek. Approach from the car is 5 minutes or less.
This strenuous problem begins with a sit down start. Sidepull your way up the pumpy and continuous arete on dicey feet until you can dyno for the lip. Once at the lip, the secondary crux is topping out on the exposed boulder.
I thought about putting a bolt below the lip to protect the secondary crux, but decided against it...in its current state, Little Devil offers quite a mental and physical challenge.
