Description
There is no bolt on top, but there used to be.
Highball
This spectacular slab is a classic and committing intro to the grade. Beginners, visitors and locals often swarm this climb simply due to it's quality. This may sound annoying, but their pads will save your butt if you fall. This is the classic line for the grade at Boulder Natural and Pawtuckaway.
Stand start on good crimps about 4 feet left of the big sidepull flake feature that is the start of Sandy Landing(v0)directly below a big flakey jug halfway up the wall. A few fun crimpy moves get you to the jug. Grab a good crimp, and make the crux reach to a good edge. Injuries could occur from falling off of this move. Hit the lip and mantel.
Original description: "Climb the face with ease and top out this great highball with a flat landing."
Location
Central line on Buttermilk Boulder.
Protection
Pads and Spotter.

It goes alright without that hold, just a little more techy at the top. Oct 28, 2012

(Disclaimer: I'm unclear whether or not this was the official start or not - either way some more clarity could help in the description instead of just "climb the face with ease.") Nov 18, 2012

There are several variations. Try going left to the arete when you are halfway up!! Traverse pro baby!
