Future Spray

V9-10 PG13, Boulder, 15 ft (5 m),  Avg: 3.4 from 17 votes
FA: Future Roden
Tennessee > Dayton Pocket/L… > Vapor Lock Cave

Description

A hard compression problem. Squat start low at a big break in the roof, this problem has the same start as for "Torpedo". Using some interesting foot beta, smack up the torpedo shaped hold with the left hand and make use of some slopers out right for the right hand. The use of toehooks, heelhooks, and core will get you up this awesome compression line. Finish up "Reconciliation".

For additional difficulty and an extra v-point. Finish up "Red-headed Stepchild". This link-up is called "Spray-Child" V11.
Do "Shaft Spray" into "Red Headed Stepchild" for a line around V12. Not sure on the name.

Location

Same start as "Torpedo".

Protection

Landing is fairly flat except for a rock jutting up at the start which could be a heel bruiser if you lose tension on your feet. 3 pads and spotter to move pads as you climb.

[Hide Comment] I'd advise climbers to bring enough pads to cover up the rocks underneath the problem. There is a serious possibility of injuring one's spine, tailbone, or even head. Falls can be very violent and even unexpected. There is one rock underneath the problem that can possibly injure the climber through a pad. Apr 12, 2019
