Description

Sit start on the northeast corner of the boulder by the jumble of rocks on an obvious, three pad, flat edge. Make a big move to a massive jug, move through a good edge, and climb up to a diagonal crimp on the lip. Figure out body positioning to make a long reach to the right to a make a committing mantel onto the slab above. This problem climbs extremely well on perfect holds and is only detracted by graffiti on the first couple holds.

I have to run a lap on this one every single visit. It’s REALLY good.

Edit: this was originally posted at V2, but after a hold break, it has become more difficult and is now a very solid V3.

Location

It is on the northeast corner of the boulder by the jumble of rocks on an obvious, three pad, flat edge.

Protection

2-3 crashpads and a spotter. The landing is tiered, so there is potential to fall beyond the landing zone and thus another 3-4 feet. The mantel is made at 11-12 feet off the deck.
