Description Suggest change

Begin as for "Joe Cool" on a blocky hold and begin traversing right. Many options exist so look high and low if the sequence feels hard for V5. Turn the corner and continue on huge jugs, underclings, and slopers and exit up and right above a small boulder.

A variation to this problem (V2) begins on the arete and traverses only the juggy part of this problem. The Caldiero guidebook has caused confusion about the sequence and rating of this problem as he describes this easier variation as the full "V5". Either way, the problem is a lot of fun so get on it!

Location Suggest change

This problem begins as for "Joe Cool" (V3 R) near the northwest corner of the Cake Boulder.

Protection Suggest change

A crashpad and a good buddy to keep it under you as you traverse would be ideal. Some may want to pad the small boulder below the topout as well.
