Description

This problem is found above the sit down flake (V2) on the second tier of the Dino's Egg boulder.

Start with a good left sloper and an in-cut right hand using the positive rail on the underbelly (see picture). Move to a sloper and head towards the jug above the lip, finishing with a not-a-gimme mantel (see picture). Squamish style and a bit thuggy.

[Hide Comment] Absolutely fantastic problem on what most would guess to be a climbed out Boulder. Stout for the grade, and very thought provoking. Best name for a boulder problem that I've seen in a long time. Jan 4, 2017
