Description

Stand start just to the right of "Kontos Arete". The left hand is on an incut crimp and the right hand on an undercling. Pull on and move up to a right handed glassy sloper. From here figure out how to reach up with the left hand to a high gaston. Once on the gaston, make a desperate punch for the lip.

Location

2 feet right of "Kontos Arete"

Protection

2 pads with a spotter. 4 with no spotter. The move to the lip is a hail Mary.

[Hide Comment] Awesome little boulder problem that I never knew was even there! That right hand sloper is pretty hard to move off of making the move to the lip super desperate. Worth checking out if you climb the grade. youtube.com/watch?v=iBB41XN… Nov 24, 2017

[Hide Comment] Managed to snag this one with some alternate beta thanks to some unknown team kids(thank you). Felt like its likely the same difficulty if not slightly harder. Here's the beta: youtube.com/watch?v=XCAWuuA… Oct 25, 2021

[Hide Comment] The Temple guide isn't always correct. It calls Road Rage a V9 when its an 8 and the line it shows in the picture for it is completely wrong and is showing an unclimbed potentially impossible project. Jul 31, 2023
