Rockin' Bod

V1+, Boulder, 13 ft (4 m),  Avg: 2.6 from 14 votes
FA: unknown
Colorado > Grand Junction… > Unaweep Canyon > Nine Mile Hill > Nine Mile Bould… > Bone Park Bould… > Victoria's Secret

Description

Start with hands matched on a low, slopey rail. Upgrade to a higher rail and work your way left toward the prow. Take care not to dab on the rocks underneath you. Stretch for a great left-hand crimp just around the arete. Upgrade your right onto another good rail. Pull up and right to rock your weight over your foot, then stand up and top out.

This problem is fun because it's overhung at the start, but it's got great holds and feet.

Location

This problem starts just right of the the Victoria's Secret Boulder's southwest corner. It is just barely inside the crack between the two boulders.

Protection

Pads and a spotter. There are large jutting rocks directly underneath the starting portion of the climb. Also, there is a larger rock behind you that you could tumble into if you fall wrong. Don't fall when your are topping out, as you will be falling into a 2-foot crack and will probably bounce back and forth between the opposing walls and probably roll your ankle. It's not really feasible to spot inside the crack.
