Natural D's

Description

A long, obvious endurance line out the cave. A couple of hard moves lead to a core-intensive rest and another hard sequence on a big undercling and crimp rail. Top out via V2-ish climbing. An epic journey of a boulder problem, certain to cater to route climbers. To my understanding, V7 is the grade the FA proposed. 5.12b or 5.12c seem just as appropriate

Location

At the back of the cave, toward the left side, look for a well-chalked tufa/udder-like hold with an obvious undercling on the back. Make a hard move to a deep pocket, then follow the chalked line out to a large, heavily chalked jug ledge, and continue along a crimp rail, out to an obvious flake. Follow the natural weakness out the prow on the cave. The original line, Triple D's, cuts left at some point and is the less popular option. Due to the horizontal-ness of the roof and the relative popularity of the line, all the holds should be chalked up and easy to find. If you have trouble finding it, start by looking for the chalked pockets of Pistol Grip Pump, look right to find the crimp rail, and follow it back to the start holds.
