Description 

An imposing line with unbelievably good climbing. From the jug rail around chest height, move to the second smaller rail and make a big move to the sidepull in the roof. Continue out the roof with very committing moves to a big sloping pinch and a flat edge (beware the stomach-turning swing), fire to good holds on the lip and top out high above the river cobble landing. Perfect movement, perfect features, huge psych-out factor, one of the most incredible boulder problems anywhere.


Location 

Right across from Donkey Punch, look for the big steep problem with chalk all over it. Pretty much impossible to miss.


Protection 

Three pads are ideal: two for the landing and one for the big boulder waiting to the left if you helicopter off the slopers (I learned the hard way...) Place your pads wisely, failure to hold the crux swing will result in a long trip backwards.
