Better Bold than Old

FA: unknown
California > Los Angeles Basin > Angeles Nationa… > Highway 2 (Ange… > Horse Flats > Main Area > Arbor day boulder

Description

Start sitting, on the lowest holds possible with a good left foot and go up and slightly left at first then straight up finishing with good holds and the lip. Amazing rock quality and good movement.Classic.

Location

If approaching from the main trail, to the left of arbor days where the landing dips out. Find the line of obvious patina crimps.

Protection

Multiple pads if this is near your limit, the landing is less than ideal.
