Flake Out

V1, Boulder, 8 ft (2 m), Grade IV,  Avg: 2.5 from 2 votes
FA: unknown

Description

Sit Start is mandatory for this given its short length. This short but satisfying route has 3-4 moves that follows the flake on a boulder with a slight over hang. The crux is the second move, getting setup on the flake that stands out on the boulder to the right of Web Crawler.

Sticking to just this boulder, the crack is a satisfying mix of face climbing and lay back.

Location

Directly in front of Keyes Battery, on the right hand side, when facing the ocean, you will find a decent crevass that leads to the water, and the boulder is at the top, with a prominent flake sticking out.

Protection

None, crash pad, spotter.
