Description

Sit-start on the block with both hands matched on the large meathook feature. Pull on and move up to a slopey edge before encountering a balancy match. Once matched, continue traversing the edges on the arete up and left until you encounter a move around the corner. Say "hello" to the tree and match the jug on the other side of the lip. From here bust a powerful move out left to a gaston before pressing it out onto the slab a couple of feet off the deck. Once on the slab, climb up and right to the arete above the tree.

This problem is quite proud and has some great movement. Heelhooks, bicycles, gastons, sloper edges, jugs, and even toehooks. A rare tick and worth the visit. The last move and the rock over onto the slab are without a doubt the crux of the problem.

Location

This problem is located a ways away from the rest of the Entrance Boulders, but it isn't quite in the Hillside/ Shortcake Area such as "Power Patches".

To reach this boulder, hike the Main Trail from the parking lot, past the first set of walls. From here continue walking and cross the 30-foot bridge.

Once across this bridge, there will be a trail on the right the cuts up the hill. Take this trail, and hike about 20 yards up it, you should be able to see this large boulder sitting on the hillside. The boulder has a large roof on its leftside, and the lip of the roof/ arete curves in a sort of an arch. Follow the faint trail, and then take the left fork off of it until you reach the base of this large boulder.

Protection

3 pads and a spotter. Perhaps two spotters and 6 pads.
