Description Start as far back on the sloping rail as you can. Next you slap and heel hook your way around and under a large roof. Make a few decisive moves to gain the outer lip and set up for the big finish move. If your feet come loose, you may hit your spotter in the head, so watch out for that!!!
It is a great problem!! This is also an area classic!!
Location Located on the north west side of Gilligan's Island, this problem is on the north side of the Homestead Trail. As you start to come out of the woods and see the field out in front of you, keep looking to your left.
The line features a large roof with a traversing sloping rail that leads to a sick toss from the end. It's visible from the trail.
Protection Pads and a spotter for the finishing moves.

| I really liked this problem. The slopers are super gritty, and that reminds me of back east. The problem is definitely not over when you hit the jug. Top out is interesting. |

| Cool problem! If you miss the jug at the lip, be prepared to slide down the chute below, or stack a couple pads up at an angle with an attentive spotter. |

| Did it statically this time around (it's been over two years since I've touched the problem). Always interesting to see how climbing styles change, considering last time I would basically cut and throw to the jug. |
