Description

Well chalked till the last few moves. Which is a utterly nails thin boulder problem. Finishes many a clean send.

Use the left hand bolt of the two at the 8th bolt. Almost impossible to clip the right hand one.

Furthest climb to the left when facing the crag

Protection

8 bolts.

[Hide Comment] There is a move between the last two bolts that is ridiculous for short folks. A fun deadline/dyno if you can make it though! I wouldn't call it a nails-thin boulder problem. Jan 9, 2017

[Hide Comment] It's kind of a one move wonder. A difficult move, but that's pretty much it. I kind of go left after that. It's probably 12a straight up (looks pretty thin), 11c/d if you go left. Jan 21, 2017
