Description

A long series of good holds, a couple of long reaches, and a cruxy top-out that will get your attention. You might even get a little pumped.

Location

Just right of Feel the Pinch, and left of Busted, on the back side of the Shield Boulder in Lower Forestland.

Protection

Best to have a couple of pads and a spotter.

[Hide Comment] Noticed both of the videos did it fairly differently, and neither used the next sloper as for Feel the Pinch? Book says to go to that sloper, but it makes gaining the rest of the crack holds pretty tough. Any consensus on what the proper line is? Oct 30, 2020
