Description
This testpiece climbs the improbable face to the right of Black Hills Gold, sharing the same lower-off anchor.
The rock is grainy, but the sequences are quintessential Josh: perplexing and tricky, with funky combinations- like a series of boulder problems.
Over time, I think this route will clean up nicely since it's easy to toprope off the Black Hills Gold anchor by swinging over to the right and clipping the top 3 bolts while lowering down after leading Black Hills Gold.
No move harder than around 11b, but a very tough onsite due to the ultra tricky sequences.
