| This is the line that moves out the obvious set of slopers on the steepest part of the block. Super fun moves, always give myself blood blisters from slapping at the slick holds as hard as I can. There's a vid of a guy sending this somewhere on youtube.... Also, I think the problem on the east face of this block might be harder, I know it is for me. |

| There is some key heel hook beta to keep you from leaving bloody. I peeled off the jug my last time on it. I was just too pumped. Next time it will go. I have not attempted any of the problems on the east face, so in terms of rating them I can't compare. This problem seemed to be the most sustained at least. The east face stuff seems more like one move wonders on painful holds :) |

| Ya... I don't remember what this problem's called but it's 7/8, and there's a harder one that starts where you are in the pic and traverses right into the 7/8 and that goes at V9 or so.... |

| We used to call this The Groiner, for how hard you pull on the heel hook. |

| The first ascent of this line was by Dave Shearer and Preston Hopfensprenger in 1992 or 1993. To the best of my knowledge it was never given a name. |

| The common name that goes around the community is called The Slapper. |

| I'm assuming this is the heel hook beta that you guys are talking about? And I think I started on the right holds and moved up it correctly. It felt like a 7, so I guess....
