Polyanna

V4, Boulder, 11 ft (3 m),  Avg: 2.5 from 2 votes
FA: unknown
Colorado > Grand Junction… > Unaweep Canyon > Nine Mile Hill > Nine Mile Bould… > Pool of Plenty… > Rising Sun Area > Wax On Boulder

Description

Stand start with a left hand sidepull under the nose and a right hand on the arete. From there, gain a right hand edge, follow to a left hand pinch, slide into the arete, gain another edge, set up the feet, gain the lip, and mantel atop the boulder.

Location

It climbs northeast face/nose of the boulder.

Protection

I preferred four pads and a spotter. The immediate landing is great, but the fall zone is surrounded by tough terrain.
