Description

Good movement, avg rock. I spent a good chunk of time cleaning before I gave up and just climbed the dang thing. The holds that you need are good, and luckily all of the handholds are solid.Stand start with both hands matched on a sloper at the lip at the right side of the boulder. Work left around the problem. Crux move is matching on a sloper at the worst spot to fall, right on the arete. Then finish through some pump on good holds and avg feet. Mantle out the top left.Worth doing for the movement if you are in the area. Rock will clean up with more ascents.A harder squat start adds one big move in the v3 range, but is crappy to protect and awkward.

Location

Just uphill to the left of the slab boulder.

Protection

Tall! A few pads. ideally a spotter to protect the bad fall at the corner. Don't fall.
