| If you lack any form of slab skills (such as myself), expect to put in a V5 effort to get anywhere on this one. |

| Classic moderate slab. We kept slipping off about 10' up and having to run down the slab to the pads. Great fun. |

| Some of the funnest falls I've ever taken on a boulder, expect to lose some rubber on your shoes if you do though |
