Backside Problem

V0, Boulder, 8 ft (2 m),  Avg: 2.8 from 6 votes
FA: unknown
New York > Gunks > Trapps Bouldering > Nameless Area

Description

It's not often that you find a V0 with this many great steep moves and heel hooks. The holds are great so despite the angle it gets the stated grade. Walk around the right side of the Nameless boulder to find the start of this classic amongst the talus. Get your left hand on the edge and your right hand in a good horizontal hold. Climb and hook your way up and out of the cave through a half a dozen good holds to the top out above.

Location

Around the right side of the Nameless boulder
