Description Suggest change

Classic gem of the creek featuring a stunning prow feature that gently overhangs towards the top. Fun refrigerator hugging gets you to the top, make sure to bring adequate padding and a cool head (possibly a rope for descending) for this rig. If you don't have a rope, compress down the back side of the boulder. World class Boulder in a world class setting. If you find yourself at the creek with pads, this thing is a must.

Originally named "Best in Show" by Tom Moulin and later climbed and accidentally renamed by Chris Schulte as "Airwolf". Chris did not know that Tom had made the first ascent until years after climbing the problem. More details on Testpiece #144 at 1:07:00.
