The Other Axis

Description

An interesting slab problem revolving around one difficult move. Start standing on a thin left hand iron crimp and right hand broken sidepull. Work upwards on small holds to a very long lock-off. Continue towards the jugs near the top of the wall. Hang and drop from the jugs at around 15 feet. The rock is pretty but a bit brittle. Be careful!

Location

From KFC/Worm's Way, walk uphill to the back of the huge boulder that Worm's Way is located on. There should be a large, orange amphitheater across from the slab on the back of the Worm's Way boulder. The Other Axis is located about 10 feet left from the rightmost arete of this wall.
