Recursion

V4, Boulder, 12 ft (4 m),  Avg: 3 from 1 vote
FA: Evan Matthews, March 2022
Idaho > E Idaho > Badger Creek Bo… > Flying Dog Boulder

Description

In programming, recursion is a process that repeats itself until it has reached a different outcome - like working a boulder problem!

Start on the jugs under the roof, pull up to the large rail on the upper face (using pockets on the face), then traverse the rail to the left and find a small hold to help you mantel up and onto the rail for topout.  I do not suggest cranking on the far left end of the rail to swing up into the mantel, as this section does sound somewhat hollow when tapped with a hammer. 

Definitely need a few pads and a spotter considering the sloped landing

Location

On the Flying Dog boulder just past the cave.

Protection

2 - 3 pads, spotter

Looking head on at the problem. Start on the white jugs, move up and right thru pockets til you get to the rail (just under the bush), then cross to the left and mantel to topout

Employing the almighty heel hook to make my way across the rail. Maybe not necessary, but definitely fun!
