Memory of a Cold Winter

Description

The problem climbs a bulging face on a nice assortment of holds over a good landing.

Sit start with hands matched on a large edge. From there, traverse right a few feet along the rail, reach a right hand crimp, bump that same hand up to a sharp edge, follow with the left hand to a tooth-edge, gain the good feet, and climb up through the remaining slopers to reach the finish.

Location

It climbs the vertical seam on the west face of Aegis.

Protection

A pad or two will work fine. The landing is very good, but there is a small tree just left of the fall zone.
