Description

An enjoyable rail traverse. Sit/crouch start, hands matched on the fin. Traverse the slopey ledge out right into the schist rock. Continue right on cool holds then round over the lip right away or climb to the apex of the block.

Variation:
Once at the center of the boulder go straight up instead. Same grade?

Location

Start on the far left side on a detached part of the boulder. Down climb backside.

Protection

Few pads, fairly flat landing.
