Buttermilk Stem (V1)

Add Photo  Add Comment    Printer View

Description 

A must-do for the Buttermilks visitor.

Stand-start with wide palms and make a tricky first move to get your right foot on (crux). Stem your way up to the good fin and jugs to the easy but great top-out.

Sit-start is v4 and requires some creativity/funk.


Location 

South face of the Buttermilk Stem Boulder, right side.


Protection 

Pads

Hardest v1 ever! Short beta requires strong stem at the base with a tiny foot crystal for the left and a hand/foot match with the right. Trust the right foot and press it out until you catch the decent side pull. Jugs and jugy pintches from then on.

Tricky for the short! I found that a drop knee helped a lot in bringing up the right foot.
