Description

Start standing at the base of the faint corner/dihedral feature with the left hand on a sloper/sidepull and the right hand on a high crimp. Follow the shallow dihdedral on slopers, crimps and edges until rock leftward to gain the lip and an easy top out.

A good problem with fun movement and perfect rock.

Location

From the parking, head past 'Half Baked...' and down a short hill. This problem is located on the west face of the large boulder in front of you.

Protection

A couple of pads are ideal.

Just around to the right of this is an insecure arete starting on two chest-height sidepulls to a thoughtful topout, I don't have the underground guidebook, but I'm sure it has a name, obvious line worth climbing, maybe 2ish? Jul 26, 2015

Yah, it's in the book but doesn't have a name, so feel free to post it up if you want. Probably like soft v2ish, though it's been a while since I climbed it. Jul 27, 2015

There is a good extension to this route, its starts lower and works up and left to hit the same start holds. I am not sure of the grade but (SDS) Crimp Problem feels easier than this variation to me...

This boulder is awesome and sees little traffic. I hope to make it out here this season with a brush and explore. Sep 25, 2016
