Description Suggest change

This boulder has a unique schist aesthetic and climbs differently than anything in the area. I'm sure if you're taller it wouldn't be nearly as fun, but at 5'7" it felt worth doing.

There are two variations that I saw:

Variation 1: Sit start at the center of the boulder and climb directly up the center utilizing side pulls, crimps, underclings if that's your thing, and slopers finally pulling the slope-y top out.

Variation 2: Sit start on the left end of the boulder on a slanted crimp rail. Make a large move to the center of the boulder and continue up the line for first variation.

Location Suggest change

Due to the nature of the parent area page and my inability to fix it, I will describe the location of the boulder in the problem page (here). This boulder is located behind the Tilted Pyramid. When facing the Tilted Pyramid walk between the two slabs to the left and The Silverback boulder will be the first thing you see.
