Description

Reach way overhead, try to get established on the two slopers, and make a desperate move into the hole. While the start is the crux, it's not over until you're standing up. I imagine the difficulty of this problem is very condition dependent; it didn't feel too bad when I did it the first time, but it was fairly early on a cool day.

Location

Just left of Call Me on the south side of this collection of boulders.

Take five starts from the faintly chalked slopers on the lip of the bulge.

Temp dependant for sure. When we were developing this area we fell off this move all summer. The first day the temps dropped at it our entire group did it. Jun 18, 2009

Hey Matt...good to see some of your thoughts on SB up here. I believe your accolades rightfully belong on the Call Me page, though. Take Five is the short problem to the left of Call Me that starts high on those two nasty slopers.

Also, what do you think about this one ? V3 sound about right? I have no idea. Jul 12, 2010

The slopers have become better from years of brush abuse. It's a bit easier now :/ Jan 12, 2011

I scoped a low start to this when I was last at the Mouth. Starting down and right on a decent right hand pocket and left hand crimp seemed plausible. Hard, though. Has anyone done this or something like it?

A strong guy named Ray from Ventura tried it the day I saw it, but I don't know if he finished. Jan 23, 2013
