Big Slab

V0+, Boulder, 25 ft (8 m),  Avg: 2.5 from 2 votes
FA: unknown
New Mexico > Jemez Mountains… > Ponderosa Bould… > Pond > Upper Deck > Tree Slab

Description

The hardest moves are getting off the ground and the first 5 feet or so. You can climb this face just about anywhere and the rock is all really good so have fun.

Start in the middle and make delicate moves up. Eventually the holds improve a bit before you reach the crack that slashes across the face. Mantle up on the crack and make a few more moves to the top.

Location

This is the slab on the right hand side of the boulder when viewed from below. Also the opposite side from where most of the problems are. This is not the slab that hangs over the drop off, though this has been climbed as well.

Protection

Pad and spotter
