Description Suggest change

This is a better and much more sustained way to access the Breaking Boundary extension. While less direct than the original Breaking Boundary, it eliminates a very good no-hands rest by staying on Breaking Ben for a little longer.  

The breakdown is something like 13d/14a to gain the exit from Breaking Ben, V3/4 connecting sequence into a V6ish boulder, medium kneebar/jug rest, then V9ish technical boulder guarding the chains. Sustained beautiful movement on excellent quality, and very steep sandstone. The final boulder problem is in a uniquely exposed position.

Location Suggest change

Climb almost all of Breaking Ben, and clip the last bolt. When this bolt is your belly, leave Breaking Ben by bouldering straight up to clip an independent bolt that protects the first crux of Breaking Boundary. Finish as per Breaking Boundary.

Protection Suggest change

Fixed draws + a couple "working" bolts without fixed draws.
