Description 

What looks like a chossfest is, well, a chossfest but it's also really good climbing. Long and pumpy it's much more like a route than a boulder.


Location 

Long traverse on the south face of the Hornet's Nest right next to the trail. Start as far left as you can. Couple of easy moves til you drop down and move around the corner using a small crimp to an undercling. Cool moves lead across the wall to a wee crux near the end. Finish up and right, around the corner, when you get to a no hands rest. Only on the last few moves do your feet ever get more than inches off the ground.


Protection 

pad or spotter is useful
