Description
Highball boulder problem? Scary short trad climb? Fun top rope? its up to you.
This line climbs just right of a boulder problem called Rain Man which comes out of a damp cave facing the Umbrella Boulder. While the crux is a little awkward and not too memorable the top 2/3 of it is really fun and serves as a convenient if a little nerve racking moderate finish to it's lowball boulder problem neighbor.
Start by cruxing out up a shallow corner/ramp feature on sharp rock this section is a bit height dependent as you are moving toward a jug up and left. The sooner you can reach it the easier the route will feel. After you get the jug climb up the face to good holds and a small stance. after a nice short break here climb up and slightly left to a good spot to mantel on to the top of the boulder. With a rope the top out isn't too bad at all but with a spotter and a pad way down there it could get your heart racing a bit.
Location
Just right and above the cave boulder problem Rain Man V4/5 facing the Umbrella Boulder.
Protection
Well it all depends on your style. On Gear it doesnt take much maybe a cam or two. If you boulder it I'd say a few pads for the bottom and a steady nerve for the top out where falling isn't really an option. TR it off good gear and trees on top of the boulder.
