Oct 18, 2023 · Send. Here's some observations I made of the problem and how I reached a one-star verdict. First off, this problem is hideously contrived; It makes a problem like Alpine Club seem pure. At every given point on this boulder, you can mantle, and it is substantially easier than traving the lip. I'm all for having contrived problems that follow obvious features but there is little to no distinction of when you can top out and how far you need to trav to the degree of I have no idea where tony even ended or if I was supposed to paddle V0 lip jugs for two more laps around the boulder. I think it's also worth the context that I mantled from the start holds, traved left and mantled, and mantled the lip from several moves in several spots all of which were substantially easier and mantling from the start is a generous v3. 2, the rock is mid. For the lake, the rock is below average being quite dirty and uneven giving me some cut marks. There seems to be this odd claim that the landing is gas, and like yeah, it's mostly flat, but when I rolled up with two pads and saw the death spike that is in the center of the crux, I was pretty bumbed. Not to mention for a problem that is less than chest height for all of the difficulty of the problem the landing isn't all that good. I recognize this is some of my own aesthetic bias for this reason, but the boulder is literally called the short boulder. It's not even a mini mega like a karma or a god module I can literally high jump to the apex of the problem with my hand in my pants. Much more importantly for a boulder as dumpy as this, the grade felt pretty standard for 7 IMO. I climbed it on my 3rd try while it was raining and then got beat down by magician for almost an hour later that sesh.
