Jungle Book

V8, Boulder, 15 ft (5 m),  Avg: 3.9 from 58 votes
FA: Jason Kehl
Illinois > Holy Boulders &… > Holy Boulders > H: Illuminati Boulders

Description

Classic overhung arete madness on the leftside of the New Zero Boulder. start on the left of the arete on jugs climb up aways till the holds disappear then do a large, but static move to a sloper on the arete. Slot a toe-hook then match the sloper. Cut your feet and enjoy the ride. Stick the crazy swing and then campus the final moves to a hard but manageable topout. Absolutely hyper-classic

Location

the arete to the left of the new zero

Protection

many pads and spotters for crazy swing.

[Hide Comment] If you're like me (v8 is your limit and you're not super tall) campusing the final pre-topout moves is NOT recommended Dec 31, 2018

[Hide Comment] typically, as long as the campus moves are not huge spans, campusing is easier the shorter you are.. ;) Nov 28, 2022
