Technicolor

V7, Boulder, 15 ft (5 m),  Avg: 3 from 2 votes
FA: Sam Pond, 2023
Connecticut > CT Bouldering > Mianus Park > Old Mill Lane Boulder…

Description

Start with right hand in the crack on a good side pull. Left hand on a tiny crimp. There is a decent low left foot to use. Establishing requires a bit of tension. From here jump off the left foot into a one-armer type move to latch a down pulling hold near the lip. From here, get the jugs on the lip and do a nontrivial mantle.

Would love to know if anyone has done this or something like it before. I wasn't able to do the jump move, but it definitely goes. Grade is in the same ballpark as kaleidoscope, maybe harder maybe easier. Really fun working it though. If someone sends it let me know and I'll update this page with FA and a new name. 

Location

Immediately left of Kaleidoscope. 

Protection

Two pads. One for the landing, one for the rock behind you.

[Hide Comment] I managed to send this a couple days ago. I opted to go straight for the lip instead of the intermediate. I would like to call it 'Technicolor' and am proposing V7. Its less moves than Color Organ but the single move to the lip was harder than any move on Color Organ. It looks like a sit start may be possible, but a few grades harder. I topped out left but topping out right, same as Color Organ, is also possible.
