Description

Get established on the slab with precise foot placement using a slopey right hand and a micro crimp undercling left hand. Make a balancy dyno to a reasonable edge. (Climbing style required may vary with height.) A move to a reasonable right handed gaston is followed by a mantle onto a shelf. Drop down or downclimb by traversing left on a right leaning rail that starts on the ground.

Location

Found at Reggie Dome, which is visible from the Boyscout trail parking lot and is best accessed from the old climber's trail at the far right side.
The problem is to the left and just around the corner from the 5.9 trad climb Ninny's Revenge. (Ninny's Revenge is to the left of the better known trad climb the Chief. Ninny's Revenge starts with an obvious overhanging boulder problem and proceeds with a right leaning fist crack.)

[Hide Comment] Based on the chalk, it appeared somebody somewhat recently sent it. Not sure about the grade. Maybe previous ascentionists can chime in on the grade. Jan 28, 2014
