Description 

The middle and hardest bolted line on the detached boulder in front of Chilly Willy Wall follows a broad rib. Slabby, low-angle smearing moves between occasional positive holds as you try to stay in balance on the arete on what is really a bolted highball boulder problem. It has a high first bolt, which may make it a poor choice for a sketchy 5.9 leader.

Rappel from the shared anchor at the top of the boulder (which would be improved if it had chains).

Location 

The middle of the 3 bolted lines on the detached boulder in front of Chilly Willy Wall.

Protection 

2 bolts to a 2-bolt anchor.
