Description

This was likely done decades ago, but I'm adding it here, because it's too good to be passed up! PLEASE, PLEASE let me know if anyone has any existing info on it...calling this area the Brain Boulder (actually just an outcropping of the cliff line, à la Ship's Prow) because of the crazy twisting rock on the underside of the roof.

Beta: start on a jug at the base of the arete using the ramp for your feet. Slap right to an incut crimp, hand-heel match, and rock up to a wonderful left crimp. Bump your right hand, look for that right kneebar, rest, and fumble blindly for some nice crimps above the roof. Make one more long reach, and you're there...just keep it together during the tall topout! WHERE ELSE CAN YOU FIND HEEL HOOKS & KNEEBARS LIKE THIS ON A V3?!? GET ON IT!!...also no crowds :)
