Description
Start low on a big positive sloper. There are two ways to go on this problem. Left- gaining another sloper and a high step to mount onto this slab. Or, right- moving to a left hand crimp followed by a high step to gain the slab above.
NOTE: This is also the down climb for "Prince Charles."
Also a running, balance related, jump from a small rock slab onto the starting hold of this short problem can be done if you wish to by pass the problem just to do some more cleaning for "Prince Charles." If this approach is taken be careful not to let your foot slip or you could end up hitting your face against the wall.... Good luck!!
