Destroyer of Worlds

V5+, Boulder, 12 ft (4 m),  Avg: 3.5 from 2 votes
FA: Dustin Payne
Arizona > Southern Arizona > Tucson Area Bou… > Panther Peak > Pyramid

Description

The beginning of this problem has changed. The right hand cobble seen in the picture to the right has broken off. The new start may make it into the v6 range, but with the majority of moves being the same I've decided not to change it.

Starts low crimping left on a shallow dish and right in either a sharp pocket or a sloping one, your choice. Go right to a pointy cobble, and left up to a very sharp pocket (Crux). Use a right hand crimp to move up left to an awesome pinch, top-out.

Location

On the far east side of the Pyramid. a few feet to the right of Arizona Sunsets and Mexican Beers.

Protection

Pads, attentive spot. The landing is slanted and the angles you fall at can be quite awkward.
