The Croissant

New Hampshire > Rumney > Rumney Bouldering > Black Jack Boul… > Zig Zag Area > Crescent Area

Description

The direct version of the crescent, named for its... insecure and body tension based nature. Start with a low left underling and right on the obvious rail. With bad feet and a tight core move up, staying on the rail and avoiding baling to the arete. A really good addition to the field

Location

Behind Zig zag Crack. Same as the crescent

Protection

Bit of a pit landing. One or two pads to shove in the crevice and one or two more to even things out does the trick. Spotter for the end is appreciated

[Hide Comment] Got any photos or video? It would be cool to see how this line actually climbs. I thought it would probably be pretty cool, I just didn't want to devote much time to it because I had lots of other projects. May 6, 2016

[Hide Comment] Essentially you lie back the crescent feature with some sneaky smudge feet until it turns. At the top of the crescent I used some wild reverse toe hook drop knee action to get set and top out straight up. Aug 9, 2016
