Description

Immediately left of Herbivore is this thin and balancy slab which utilizes a key left hand crystal pinch midway and gets easier the higher you go.

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

Just left of Herbivore on the east face of the boulder.

Protection

Pad; a spotter is nice due to a rock just left of the base.
