Description
Sit start at the bottom of the obvious diagonal crack that runs from the top of the boulder to the bottom (far right of the boulder).
START HOLDS: At base of crack is a diagonal crimp. Start there and use the edge of the crack directly above as a gaston.
Reach up to the next side-pull along the crack and gaston left into the higher crimp. Bump up higher to the jug part of the crack to gaston. Follow the crack to juggy glory above.
...the bottom seeps a little bit for a day or so after a good rain.
-The big start hold that made this line a v7 in 2010 totally broke off a few months afterward. This line was re-sent summer of 2012 and the first 2 crux moves make it v8ish - In 2019 a key foot broke making the line closer to the v9 grade. Time will tell with consensus.
