Description Start matched on the low jug on the left side and compress up the arete. Fun climbing
Location From Captains Traverse go right up the gully next to the cliff band go through a notch and head left through the corridors and it will be on the left. Can also be reached from the top, veer right at the top of the ccc after the routes and you can drop into it.
Protection a few pads, landings a little weird. A spotter would be good too.
Working through the bottom moves

The scariest move probably

| Nice send Ian! This is a really unique boulder and I'm psyched on it. Bring the spotters, the landing drops away. |

| Sweaty got very close today. He also fell at some of the spots we were worried about and with a spot along with 3-4 pads it was totally fine. |

VIDEO for all who care
havent checked it out but seems that bottom block is off from the video...if things are contrived and are off they should be listed as so on mountain project? |

| I think a safe assumption would be that detached blocks are generally off because.....well.......they're detached. There are obviously times when they're appropriate like on Sea Of Purple. This is not one of those cases and this problem is in no way contrived. |

| I care! It should be pointed out that he does about 13 more foot moves than me. Waste of energy sir. waste of energy. And steve is correct, detached blocks are almost never on homie. |

| Sweet vid Ian! Now that's how every climb in your vids should be. No speed up or slow down. Just climbing at it's best! Great music, great angles, great climb. Nice work. |

| I chickened out on this today with only 2 pads and 1 spotter, but definitely want to get back on it. Was there any thought toward excavating the landing area or is it going to remain as is for a little extra spice factor? |

| I heard that an aging, balding, fat "climber" broke the right arete crimp off late last November. He wholeheartedly apologizes to the climbing community for this grievous error, but would like to point out that since it's already broken off now, nobody else will get injured as a result. |

| Sent this today! First day on it. Amazing climb! On to sex and chocolate. Oh and we built up the landing, making it a bit safer. Pads sit flat now. |
