Wrestling with the Lion King


Description 

The Lion King has a huge distinctive flake on it. Climb to beneath the flake, and then traverse out right and up the right side of the flake. Steep edges and tricky moves lead to the crux right before the anchor.


Protection 

4 titanium glue-ins with anchors at the top.

Just to let eveyone know, a few people have broken ankles falling off right side of the flake... they hit the dihedral wrong. Fall AFTER you clip the bolt!!!! Personally, I skip that clip and go to the next bolt.

I didn't do any deadpoint up there, and I'm short....like really short. It's not a height-dependent move; I think folks are just pumped and desperate.

absolutely brilliant, but the sloping foot under the flake is getting a bit slick. enjoy.
