Description

Start sitting a few feet to the right of Moose Tracks on a sloping left hand crimp and a very small right hand crimp, pick some feet and stand up to match the seam in two positive spots. Once established in the crack move your feet up and make a long move out right to a sloper. Establish on the sloper with your right hand and make a tension move to a jug up near the arete and top out.

Location

Three feet right of Moose Tracks and eight feet left of Metallic, just on the left side of a obvious rock imbedded in the ground.

Protection

Pad and spotter.

[Hide Comment] No worries man, it is a pretty fun climb and feels unique to the area because the crux is all about balance and not about pure power, get on it and tell us what you think! Jul 23, 2014

[Hide Comment] Matt-

You should take a photo of the starting holds because I didn't find them to be all that obvious. I was fortunate because there was chalk on them. Shorter folks will likely have to use a couple of pads to reach the starting holds from a sit.

A fun little line. Looks like you could do something to the right of this as well (and left of Metallic). Jul 24, 2014

[Hide Comment] First Recorded Ascent. Rumney's bouldering history can be a bit of a mystery, unless I clean something of tons of loose rock, I assume it might have been cleaned before and just not recorded. So as not to offend anyone I don't take credit for the official FA just the First Recorded Ascent. Aug 15, 2014
