Traverse and Slab

V5, Boulder, 10 ft (3 m),  Avg: 2 from 1 vote
FA: J. Thompson 2-2017
Texas > Lake Palo Duro > Bike Trail Area > Unnamed Prow

Description

This is an interesting problem requiring a horizontal circumnavigation of the boulder. 

Location

On the downhill side of the boulder, SDS start as far as possible to the left of the lowest downhill point. Pull on, then traverse the lip of the overhang in a counterclockwise direction. Where the lip butts into the dirt base under the boulder, make a deadpoint to a sloping dish with the RH then climb straight up the slab to the top.
