FA: unknown

Description

Stand start the giant bulging arête with the right hand out right in a black water groove. Pull onto the wall and make some hard compression moves up the slopey polished arête over a slightly sketchy landing.

Location

This Boulder is on the Blind Spot Boulder which lies adjacent to the Fromundathunda Boulder. It is located right on the "Express Trail" and the two boulders create a sort of Corridor . This problem lies on the left side of the large wall.

Protection

3 or 4 pads.
