Description

Although listed as V2 in the guidebook, this tricky face climb doesn't feel anything like V2 even on the best of days. Stand start with a pair of crimps at about the 4' level and choose how you will proceed. Either power into the undercling with small feet and then toss for the good crimp, or skip the undercling with a toe hook and grab a high left edge before reaching up to the crimp. Stick the lip and mantle over. It's fun either way.

Location

From the Rainforest Boulder (Valley Boulder) follow the wash towards the Method Boulder for about 100 feet and you'll see this slightly overhanging face. Walk off the back.

Trying some funky toe hook beta. Sharp, but a cool problem away from the crowds.

Due it's location, this problem is somewhat overlooked. However, it climbs really well and is definitely worth a visit. Oct 15, 2012

Really fun line. Anyone know anything about the sit start to this and what it goes at? I couldn't get off the ground... May 25, 2017

Felt like v6 when I punted the topout LOL, wasn't sure where the sit started, started really low sorta down and to the right on some awful crimps. May 25, 2017
