Description Suggest change

King Ghidorah is a villainous monster from the Godzilla movies, a massive three-headed dragon that wreaks havoc to entire planets. 

This boulder is a monster too, which climbs the complete crack formed between the Goliath and Passage boulders from start to finish. Not too many like it around these parts, I'd say it's a must do in the Adirondacks for the crack bouldering enthusiast. 

Start with a body bridge of sorts at the mouth of the passage. Climb the roof crack however you see fit until you can fit some fist jams in and invert a few moves over to where you can turn the lip into the cave on handjams. Scum up and follow the right-rising corner with good holds and jams. Watch for a loose hold disguised as a jam maybe 12' up. This finish is a bit highball but pretty easy. 

The finish has been done before but seemingly no one ever got around to the full line. Not sure about the grade, crux seems like turning the lip or just past it depending on how you pop out?

Location Suggest change

The mouth of the passage on the left side of the massive Goliath boulder. You start on the road side of the passage and climb into the cave. This climb is the reverse of Wook in a Nook, but continues up through the cave where that climb begins. 

Protection Suggest change

Several pads. Tape. Lots of it.
