Description

Scramble up the corner with jugs and good feet. Pass the Too Proud to Ignore crack on the right and continue up until you hit the roof. Instead of heading on the slab to the left(Delicate Mechanism), continue up into a stem just right of the roof. Get your feet up and make a powerful lie back move into a small left hand crimp. Then, jump with your right to the top of the Too Proud to Ignore crack. Make the easy mantle and finish at the chains. This route only has 1 or 2 hard move, hence, “Too Proud to Boulder.”

Location

This route is at the Upper Gorge in the Dihedral area. Between Too Proud To Ignore on the right and Delicate Mechanism on the left, although they all share the same start. To set up a TR you can warm up on Too Proud to Boast 5.9 and set up the TR on the chains. From there, Too Proud to Boulder is just around the arête to the left.
