The Official

V7, Boulder, 10 ft (3 m),  Avg: 3.5 from 56 votes
FA: unknown
New York > Ice Pond > Diesel & Ice Cu… > Diesel Boulder

Description

Start underneath the small roof on good incut holds. Make a hard left hand move and bump on slopey crimps, then use a far right foot to gain the pretty good crimp rail up and right. Top out straight up above the large crimp shelf.

There is a V8 eliminate "The Official Direct" that skips the good crimp rail up right and goes straight to the larger horizontal crimp shelf above the first two left hands.

There is also a V10 sit that starts on the low edges that serve as feet for the stand. 

Make sure to use plenty of pads. Most falls on this are directly onto your back/tailbone, which could result in a bad injury.

[Hide Comment] this thing is harder than it looks. I dont think its a v6.... at least v7

If you are looking for it, follow the trail past the mercury/deep woods area, past the boulder with the sketchy topout (i don't know what its called...sorry :p) going over a few stone walls, and you will begin to come down into this low land/ valley area. if you keep your eyes on the left side of the trail you'll see a little cave area with a big rock fall on the other side, adjacent to the big wall witha bunch of moss on it. the problem is facing away from the trail. just on the other side is "diesel v10" Jul 24, 2015
