Description

Start on the right side of the arete, on two good holds about 6.5 feet up. Work around to the left side of the arete and throw up to a side-pull on the right side of the arete. After that, some small crimp moves and a throw to the last hold. Felt....

Location

Start in the same place as Fleshfest.

Protection

A few pads and a sling to affix a pad to a rock for the last move. You don't need it, but if you have one, it's nice.

[Hide Comment] There is no FA on this boulder, because it's not a boulder. The problem is Fleshfest, and it was done by Herm Feissner. Dec 14, 2012
[Hide Comment] This is definitely a boulder problem in its own right and works as a great extension of Fleshfest if you're not willing to spend energy on a harder entrance. Both of them are fantastic on their own. Definitely give this one a shot, this is a heady classic in The Satellites, IMO, and a notable accomplishment if you end up topping it out. Sep 11, 2023

[Hide Comment] Yeah, I agree. Nothing wrong with a higher start to an older boulder. It is a climb in its own right. On the other hand, I would say the FA of this is whoever got the FA of Fleshfest. Mar 13, 2024
