Lick My Toad

V5-6, Boulder, 15 ft (5 m),  Avg: 2.5 from 2 votes
FA: Morgan Patterson
Connecticut > CT Bouldering > Bald Rock Basin > Basin Area > W Side > Frog Head Boulder

Description

Starting on the lower side of the boulder on an obvious pinch and crimper, pull on and fire out the arete to another crimper. Next fire again up the arete to a decent pinch on a hollow but seemingly (for now) solid flake, and then to the horizontal. Continue a few feet right across the horizontal to the arete coninueing up and right to mantle.

There would be an amazing low traverse into this problem, and even a GREAT start just one move before the described route however buried boulders at the base make the climb extremely difficult for someone of adult size.

[Hide Comment] Flake broke most of the way. What's left still flexes a bit. It still goes at the same grade. Also the pinch in the middle can be skipped using a low foot. Jan 6, 2019
