Corner Pocket

Description

Corner Pocket is a classic warm-up line with fun moves and comfortable sandstone holds. Start with one hand in the 'Corner Pocket' hold (above the flat rail) and your other hand in the obvious seam above. Climb the pocketed seam up and slightly to the right, and then fade back to the left as you pull onto the slab with easier moves.

(Add a bit of difficulty by starting with your Right-hand in a sharp 3-finger pocket at waist height, and your Left-hand in the large rounded ‘Corner Pocket’ hold at shoulder height.)

Location

On the bulbous South Face of the Joyland Boulder. [BLUE Topo Line]

Protection

A single crash pad should be adequate.
