Description


Fun lip mantle Problem!

continue a few yards past the Autumn Boulder and the Jet Boulder, past the massive fallen hollow tree, and look deep into the forest to your left. you will see a small unassuming boulder face (that you may otherwise second guess or walk past). this is the Tuna Boulder.

Once at the Tuna Boulder, walk to the right (parallel to the trail) and you will see the small Yates Boulder.

Yet again, walk left and slightly back (away, but still parallel with the trail) and you will see the small (slightly larger than the last) Electricity Boulder.

From this boulder, continue back and right until you reach the Wonder Block.

from the Wonder Block, walk straight back until you reach a jumble of boulders. there will be a slabby boulder to scramble up and ontop of this will be a long, thin, horizontal block with a deep featureless roof 3ft off the ground. this is the Mantle Block.

Dis-Mantled starts 4-5ft to the right of the low roof, about 2.5ft off the ground. look for an extremely tiny (hard to find) pin-hole pocket. match on either side of this pin-hole pocket and your in the perfect spot. with your body under the ground, pick up and throw a heel hook to the right and press out a hard mantle.
