Description
Stand start on a boulder inside the cave. Reach up to a good crimp jug. Reach up right hand to a good flat crimp. Match and set your feet for a huge right hand lock off. Snag the hold wherever you can as a gaston then get a higher right foot. From here maintain your head game and keep moving. Do a few more right hand moves and a left before a big move to a jug on the lip! The difficulty of this problem may vary with height.
Location
Locate the large cave from the parking lot or climb down to the dojo and walk to the rightside of the cave. The is the prominent line of the wall.
Protection
10-20 pads if you plan on falling.

[Hide Photo] This is the most committing move of the climb for me because I wasn't able to get my left hand on the best part of the hold from the lock off.
