Description

Mantle the obvious flake right of Sun Dance and continue up the easy slab above. An easy downclimb exists on the backside of the boulder.

* This problem isn't listed in the Joshua Tree Bouldering Guide but is an obvious line with some good moves that's worth a go when in the area.

Location

Far right side of the west face.
