Description

Tough boulder problem up and over the ledge, then pumpy moves to the finish. Start with hands on the low ledge, then match the bad, right-facing side pull. From there, reach far out right and back to the ledge to a jug, shift over and pull. There are a couple different options of holds that will help you get over the roof and past the crux, climber's choice. Once over the ledge, stay to the right of the big crack on slightly overhanging, decent holds. Don't fall here, because getting the boulder problem crux but not sending would be really embarrassing.

Location

Look for the overhanging roof just to the right of the large crevice on the east end of the main wall. Desperation is the farthest right route on the main wall.
