Matching the "Boss Hold" on The Hulk.

Description 

Classic!

On the steep South face of the 'Happy Boulder', sit-start down and right on a juggy shelf. Steep moves lead to a left hand pinch and right hand sidepull/undercling. Make a big move up and left to the big block just below the lip (the "Boss" hold). From here, finish either up and left or up and right, same difficulty.


Protection 

Pads, spotters

Some strong Slovakian guy spots me on an attempt of the Hulk.  There are several ways to reach the Boss hold: the big right hand cross is the most famous, but I don't use it. February 2011

Description is a little dyslexic. Many sequences to gain "the boss" hold, which is the crux...and that's part of what makes this a great problem, there are many ways to solve it, yet all are slightly awkward. Awkwardness makes this a 3, rather than 4 star.

A hard right toe into the hueco is a must to do the right hand cross to the big boss hold
