Puzzle Jump

V2, Boulder, 10 ft (3 m),  Avg: 2.5 from 2 votes
FA: Isaac Young
Colorado > Estes Park Valley > Friendship Boul… > Friendship Boulder

Description

This route starts halfway up the boulder with an obvious double hand start. Your feet start spread as well. Your left hand has to spread out wide to the sidepull, then your feet match, and then your left foot goes out to a slanted ledge. Your right hand goes up to a slopey crimp, and then a dyno to a crimpy ledge allows the climber to top out the route. The crux is the dyno for most, although there is a static way to complete the boulder - with an extra crimp. In general, this route is well-protected, but the spotters have to help during the topout.

Location

The route is found on the main face of the overhang on the backside of the main Friendship Boulder. It's to the right of Stonefish and starts somewhat in the middle of the boulder.

Protection

Crashpads are recommended.
