Mint Chip

V1+, Boulder, 8 ft (2 m), Grade II,  Avg: 2.6 from 29 votes
FA: Jack Dever?
Massachusetts > Eastern, MA > Hammond Pond > Temple Area > Pusherman Wall

Description

The crux is the final move to the jug. You need good balance to pull yourself to the half moon. Very fun route, not especially hard but an interesting balance problem none the less.

Location

The start is located about 6-7 feet left, if facing Crackerjack Dyno. The start is two small, 1 finger chips used for balance at the very end of the boulder. Traverse along the large walkway using small chips for balance until you reach a small sharp half moon crimp facing you. Use that and a high chip to pull yourself up to grab a large jug at the top of the boulder. Top out here.

Protection

A pad below the final move. While traversing, you have good feet and are pretty close to the ground, except for the last reach.

[Hide Comment] Is this a traverse of the face at the left end of the Pusherman Wall? Every square inch of this wall has been climbed in the past. Keep the problem, but a FA claim is not correct. Aug 8, 2017
