Description

Stand start the pedestal with a nice right hand jug sidepull and a left hand sloping edge. Pull up to the sloping lip and mantle the pedestal. Once on the pedestal reach up to jugs at the base of the right trending lip/ arete of the tall hourglass shaped boulder.

Pull on to the wall and climb up and right on the overhanging lip on holds that seem like they should be better. Span out to the opposite arete and make a few compression moves up and a long reach for the juggy lip before mantling above the entire notch.

Location

This boulder problem is not on the Easy Gully boulder, but about 60 or 70 yards below it. The giant hourglass shaped rock can't be missed, especially when approaching from the Backyard and Asteroid Boulders.

Protection

The landing gets worse the higher up. there are two bolts on top of the block to rap and/ or TR. One could fall on the first half and be safe, but a fall at the top or on the mantle would not be good.
