Description
This boulder is located at the far North end of the Grocery Store Walls. There are 3 nice problems on this rock.
1: Ascend the easy slab on the left side.
2: Climb the arete on the left side of the face w/out using the crack at all or moving feet around the corner (~V2).
3: Lieback the crack up the middle of the face, dyno for the top (V1+). Killer move!
Top out on all of these. There are great landings on several layers of pine needles.
"Colorado Bouldering" describes the center problem as climbing the arete, but using the crack for a right hand or feet (V1).
