Warm-up Slab

This is a wonderful warm up climb for anyone looking to boulder around the back of Pettaquamscutt rock.  The climb starts matched on a jug at head hight and moves up to two sloping quartz crimps.  Moving the feet up allows the climber to reach a variety of solid side-pulling flakes, that are admittedly hard to see in due to the texture of the rock. At about 10/12' off the group there is a crescent shaped jug that can be used to rest on if needed before using several blocky holds to reach the top of this small wall.  There are excellent feet and solid, juggy, handholds at the top, so pulling the top out is not complicated. 

This climb in on the back side of Pettaquamscutt rock, if you are facing the rock this climb is about 15' to the right of the flake that People of the Small Point is on.  The easiest way to get there is by hiking around to the right.  After walking up to the trail past the basketball courts, go right at the fork in the trail and then right again at the next fork.  This will send up up a short hill that goes around to the back of Pettaquamscutt rock.  It easier walking this way with pads then it is trying to haul them up and over the front. 

Several pads, it is a fairly tall climb but the landing is pretty perfect.
