Description Suggest change

If you like kneebars, this is the boulder for you. If you don't like kneebars, then have fun underclinging your way up. This is one of the most unique and proud boulders in the canyon, it stands on a pedestal across the river and is the only line on the entire boulder.

Start matched on an undercling at the bast of the boulder and get established on the feature that juts out from the cave to the right. Use the limited amount of footholds to paste your feet and plug numerous kneebars while holding a front lever on underclings, no distinct crux but quite engaged throughout. The crux comes at the top of the cave, gaining a right hand sloper-pinch and getting an insecure kneebar is the last sequence before reaching the victory jug at the lip.

If there's any boulder to do in the Kern Canyon (in my opinion), it's this one.

Location Suggest change

Across the river high on the canyon wall. You should see a steep arete with no landing, Wushu is on the other side.

Protection Suggest change

4 or 5 pads
