Description

Start with fists and hands working up the obvious line. There are good feet the whole way up. The crack slowly withers away towards the top and last few moves are on the face. About half way up the crack, there is an outcropping of crystals to the left. You can crimp on one of those to re-situate yourself. Lay into the final finger crack and either crimp or palm your way to the top.

Location

Directly behind the Sylan lake Auitorium
Look for obvious overhung boulder with beautiful crack.

Protection

This is a pretty highball boulder problem if you are going that route. A walk around on the back provides access to a firmly rooted small tree that can be used as a TR anchor. **there is no additional anchor placement... please dont pull the tree out on a big fall**
