Description

Use a couple of small vertical holds to get your right hand up onto the sloping ramp. From here, figure out a way to ascend the dihedral. Very tricky and unique problem that's worth figuring out.

Location

As you come down the hill, when the trail opens up into the Happy Hunting Grounds area, this problem is on the left side boulder right in front of you.

[Hide Comment] This problem is probably very height dependent. A short person may have a lot of trouble reaching up the seem at the top to gain some grip. Great fun and unique movements. It's cool to get on something that is not the typical jug or crimp fest. Oct 2, 2011

[Hide Comment] A cool variation avoids the sloping ramp entirely and finishes direct. Feels like a V3/4. Jan 28, 2021
