Description

Short, but punchy! It's pretty much a V4/5 boulder problem to a good rest to a V6/V7. I had so much fun on this one. Jeez it really provided.

I rigged it by aid soloing up the seam with shitty gear and a few 1/4" concrete screws when it got serious. I tested most of the moves, skipping the crux because, "Oh, that will go, for sure." First lead go, and 20 falls later I'm scratching my head thinking I bolted a dud. "I need an Evan-ism if I'm going to send this" I hollered down to my belayer. I got weird and found my funk and four tries later it was sent. I originally graded it 12c, but I think that might have been a gaffe. So far I've heard up to 13b. Get on it and give it your grade!

The name isn't a typo. We saw a big beautiful river otter at the base. You might see an otter too!
