Description

Start matched on vertical pinch hold. Move up and left, using good sidepulls and the amoeba hold. Make big moves to the high rails and top-out. The top-out looks super sketch from the ground, but it is one of the chillest top-outs you'll find. Definitely make sure the top-out slab is free of excess debris to ensure you don't slip on the smooth face. 

This climb is definitely a top-tier moderate!

Location

The right of Strainer. As the name infers, this problem is located at the amoeba-looking feature on the North face of Uvula Boulder.

[Hide Comment] This climbs like a board problem, classic! Probably a bit easier for taller folks.
