Tummy Touch

V3+, Boulder, 16 ft (5 m),  Avg: 3.7 from 11 votes
FA: unknown
Alabama > Cherokee Rock V… > Flintstone

Description

Best problem at Sandrock, and maybe the best for miles around. Clean, easily protected fall zone. Unique holds and brilliant rock quality. Intriguing, inspiring, and burly movement. Quiet and secluded as well

Sit start and match on a large chalked jug at the perfect heigh at the base of the roof. Begin with a left hand move. Negotiate heals and toes, find the pockets, holds the swings, navigate the jugs, and save some umph for the crux. 

Location

Walk along the ridge past To Pumped Chump for 100 yards. Follow slight trail until there's an obvious cut left, back, and downhill. Look for the obvious roof boulder is just there. 

The top out of the boulder will be on the level you walk down from. 

Protection

Two, three, or four crash pads depending on how talented the climber and spotter(s) are.
