Hitting the infamous 'atomic pinch'

Add Photo  Add Comment    Printer View

Description 

Start on the obvious overhanging arete with your left hand on a good sloper and right on a pinch below and to the right of this hold. Do a move to a pinch on the face then get to the lip using any means possible. The slash grade should be V7/9 as the taller you are the easier this problem will be. COLD TEMPS A MUST!...at least it was for me.
