Description
This thin slab problem is found on the west face of the boulder and is hidden from view on the approach.
Mantle onto a sloping ledge to start then slab your way up the increasingly steep slab with the crux at the very end as you reach for the top. Somewhat reminiscent of the
Hensel Face at the JBMF Area.
Note: No easy descent is to be had from this boulder - the best option is to place a pad on the northeast face (lowest side) and jump off.
