Description

From Goss guidebook this climb is rated 11a: "Awkward moves to attain a ledge, then pockets."

The “awkward moves” involve a heel hook to a double knee bar up to an awesome left pocket, followed by a second crux higher up to get over the bulge, a dynamic throw to an undercling. I thought this was a super fun route, similar to Funky Boss and maybe only slightly harder.

Location

Immediately right of Funky Boss

Protection
