Description

Begin from a sit start shared with Champagne Right in the middle of the block on obvious sloping edges. Bump to higher sloping edges and continue STRAIGHT up the face, potentially via a long dynamic move to a good hold higher up. Although the opening move out of the sds is slightly awkward, the quality of the rock is absolutely perfect and the problem stays with you until the end.

NOTE: Although this problem and what I've called Champagne Right were never actually named by the early developers, the boulder was apparently coined the Champagne Block and I've given these problems the namesake moniker until further notice. If Ben, Jason, David, Jeremy, Cam or Jamie read this, feel free to chime in.

Location

This problem begins from a sit start in the center of the vertical downvalley-face of the boulder 20 yards uphill from the problem Seurat. Perfect salt-and-pepper granite, you can't miss it.

Protection

There are a one or two little blocks near your pads, so use a couple Organics and cover them up.
