Description

Pull onto the footrail, go to the good high sidepull/undercling flake directly overhead and then mantle it out. Easier for tall people who can reach the good high hold from the footrail. Shorter people will have an extra move that will be the crux for them.

Location

On the far right side of the boulder is a large foot rail, a couple of crimpy sidepulls and an obvious good sidepull/undercling up high.

Protection

Pad.

Good moves on this but it seems fairly easy for V3. Nov 2, 2008

Good movement throughout. Taller than 10 feet but the fall is clean and safe. Good hand and foot holds at every move but not all of them are immediately visible. No dynamic moves but a couple of strongish pulls. Satisfying, clean top-out with sloper pinches on top and a good foot to stand up on. Nov 23, 2015
