Description Suggest change

This fun climb requires a bit of power for the start and good technique/footwork thereafter.

Start sitting at the base of the hanging slab with your right hand on a good pinch on the arete (at about 3 feet) and your left hand on a low sidepull (at about 2 feet). Pull off the ground somewhat awkwardly and proceed directly up the slab using the arete out right and the hanging arete feature out left. A hidden undercling out left may be helpful for the starting moves.

Decipher a couple slab moves (a little harder for short folk) and top out using the juggy lip.

This can also be done from a stand start (v1+).

Location Suggest change

This climb is located on the Chasm Boulder (same as Chasm Crack, etc). It can be approached by walking upstream from the Yosemite Boulder or via the trail to Devil's Den. It is the obvious slab to the right of Chasm Crack.

Protection Suggest change

A couple of pads
