Description

A solid problem with a couple big moves and cool holds.

On the uphill-most, backside of the boulder, this is the only climbable face. Look for the low, steep face in the "pit."

In the pit/hole/tunnel, find the very low, very long edge/crimp rail.

Start matched anywhere along this long crimp rail, using any of the crimp edges to pick up with.

Pop up to the distant crimp/knob/edge above, and the right to the quartz knob. Move up to the slopey/flat rail above, and top out above the start.
