Description

A fun climb up the Northmost corner of the Boulder.
Start in the water, make a couple interesting moves to a big shelf and move around to the left and gain the ledge. Traverse right, then make a few big moves on decent holds, and one massive move to top out on the corner.

harder if you are shorter, hence the +

V4+ Variation: Instead of moving around to the left and gaining the rest, move straight up the open-book corner and make a big move. Continue into the familiar over hang to the top.

[Hide Comment] I've been climbing here for years. Where do you start this one? I start in the finger slots in the corner down and right from the rest/shelf area. Grade sounds right.

[Hide Comment] Hey Eddy,
I usually start from the same spot as you do, down and right of the shelf. Starting in a boat makes it a touch easier for sure. Jul 24, 2015
[Hide Comment] Now that I look at this again I realize I got this confused with the other one. The 2- is the one I've been doing for years. It looks like this one is right in the middle of the 2- and the 4. Jul 24, 2015
