Description
An inspiring and beautiful feature. Marshall with the vision and brobdingnagian cajones.
This one would get the rating of V2R (SH) in a lot of guidebooks. SH for "Super Highball" since it definitely tops out at close to 30ft, the "R" due to the rocky and congested landing.
Top rope and rehearse this before attempting.
On the upstream-most end of the boulder you will find the off-width split. Stand start on the face to the right of the split and make a few moves upward. Midway through, transfer into the crack and then lay-back the blade. Continue working the lay-back, then the off-width, then again reach to the right face at the top to gain the top lip to top out.
