Description

Awesome crimp problem with a deadpoint crux. Start matched in a slot at head height and head straight up through a handful of small crimps. The crux revolves around a precise move to a mailbox slot that is definitely harder the shorter you are. From there, trend left on jugs to another slippery mantle. There is potential for a lower start.

Location

Just to the right of Hustle Bones. Just like that problem, this one is also covered in a waterfall in the spring.

[Hide Comment] More like v4 if you are over 6 ft tall. Added the obvious sit start (~v7), but its better as a stand. Jul 17, 2020

[Hide Comment] I agree with Ethan. V4 is fair, even for my slightly shorter friends. Sep 23, 2023
