Description

Have to imagine someone has climbed this line before, but there was no chalk on it, not in the book, and not on MP. So, here's a great line for you to consider when visiting Outback Boulder. We thought it was harder than the flake to the right and more fun, too.

Happy to change name if this is a local line.

Location

Left of "right V1" in guidebook or "Left Flacing Flake" on Mountain Project is a series of three pocket rails followed by chicken heads. Sit start under that line and go straight up. Taking the direct line should keep you out of the flake to the right.

Protection

Pad, spotter. Highball.
