Description Suggest change

Same start as the other Anklebiter problems. Gain the good crimp rail on top of the lip, then traverse left on smaller crimps as in Anklebiter Left, but instead of throwing for the flake and toping out, continue traversing around the corner using a knee bar or toe hook to avoid the tree. Use good crimps/rails on the north face of the boulder to top out. The pedestal the main Anklebiter boulder is sitting on is on.

The second-lowest left handhold after the start recently broke, and while what remains can still be used, that entire flake is loose and feels insecure. Use at your own risk.

I've seen this graded from 6B+ to V6, so I offer V5-6 as an unsatisfying compromise for now.

Protection Suggest change

2-3 pads. A spotter to hold a pad up against the tree or on the sloping boulder under the finish doesn't hurt.
