Description
Bouldery start up a blank face with a single pocket. Grab a ledge ~12ft up, swing left, then stand up into a weird balance position at the start of the crack. Follow the crack up and right to the belay ledge.
Location
Starts on the blank face 20ft left of
Texas. Belay from the top and walk off (to the left or right).
Protection
No bolts, no anchor. Standard light trad rack (set of nuts, set of cams, and draws).
[Hide Photo] An alternative start involves bridging up the corner just left of the "pocket start". This is useful for climbers who can't make the long reach required for the pocket strart.
