Pinch Problem

FA unknown
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

This is one of the best face problems at this grade in the area, IMO. Start with good and obvious holds at head height. Move up to a pinch and climb straight up the face. Once on top, finish by tunneling left through a short 'cave traverse' or enjoy a last 10' of easy offwidth.

Location

When taking the short trail to the Corridor, break slightly left around and downhill from the first boulder with

Arete V4

, and follow along till you can round the corner of the last tall boulder on the right, just past a short offwidth crack with a 'Y' split. The problem goes up the west face. There is an easy offwidth/chimney by the left side of the problem that you exit through after topping out.

Protection

A pad and spotter or two. The landing is good but slightly angled.
