Description The painfully obvious crack. Start with your hands on a shelf with a heel hook by your hands and prepare for judgement day. Jam, crimp, thrutch, grovel your way across the left slanting crack till you can stand up into underclings and bring your feet up. Then finish up the far left arete. The book gives this V3, I think that it is much harder and never gets too much easier.
Location To the right and around the corner from lobster tail.

| Barnacle Bill goes up the easy arete at the end of the crack, Charley Horse V5 is the variation that goes up the blank slab that why it feels so much harder... the blank slab is much tougher than v3 :) |

| Are you sure? I have always thought that the crack to the arete is barnacle bill. Start in the cave move left along the crack till you can stand up and work up the arete. The variation moves up right from the start of BB and finishes on the right hand arete. Maybe v5 |

| Just sent this rig for the first time the other day. Amongst my proudest boulder sends. Didn't feel as hard as it has. great problem. straight up variation from the big jug to the arete overhead isn't v5 either. v3? or easier |

| Ok it makes zero sense to me that Hobbit Hole gets a hundred attempts every weekend and this climb sits around with nobody getting on it. Too much thrutching for the general populous? I had a blast on this thing although it was an ugly affair - see for yourself (@~2:17):

| Eric, I think you look strong on it. Looks like you hardly jam it, only way this rig goes for me! |
