Description
Just right of Hensel Face (V0) are several scoops of unknown origin which make a fun outing to the top of this boulder, as well as being the easiest way off the boulder that doesn't involve jumping.
Worth doing more than once, this is a fun one to do and to do with one hand, and with no hands, and with your eyes closed and with your eyes closed with no hands - well you get the idea. Kids seem to enjoy this as well.
