Description

This starts on a four-finger pocket with a nasty crystal tooth or on a sloper a few inches to its right. Pull on, then traverse right across big slopers to the right end of the big ledge. From the end of the ledge, climb out and slightly left on tiny edges to gain the top. It is steep, fun, and a little scary.

Location

This route is on the southern end of the east face. Find the biggest holds on the east face, then move about 12 feet left to find the start.

Protection

Pad and spotter. This problem is not that tall, but a fall toward the end could be awkward.

[Hide Comment] This boulder is fantastic. Hard for the grade compared to many other Front Range V8s. Most people match on the last crimp to do the crux, but I found some techy beta to avoid the terrible match and just get the right hand on the good crimp. PUT A PAD FAR BACK AND LEFT!!! If you can't fight the swing at the lip and pop off, you go way further than you'd expect!!! I missed them at least once, and I would have ended up way in the grass were it not for my spotter.

[Hide Comment] The swing out off the top holds is REAL. Have a big pad under the topout area (to the left of the crimp crux). It's not over once you reach the top holds; fighting the swing out as you release the heel hook is probably one of the cruxiest moves on this climb!

I was able to pad this solo with one big pad, one regular pad, a half pad, and a Blubber, but it is probably best to go with a crew and a ton of pads the first time. Jan 16, 2025
