[Hide Comment] There is also a boulder 30 feet east of the nipple that has 5 or 6 problems. Nov 10, 2009

[Hide Comment] I spied a potentially harder version of this on the steep face right of the arete. Anyone ever try it? Mar 30, 2011

[Hide Comment] v3/4 variation of "The Nipple" if you start low in the overhang. Burly dynamic bump before finishing with the rest of the route. Sep 30, 2017
