Description Very cool looking holds that you just want to grab, especially that huge cobble at the top.
Start out on any of the knobs that you can reach, probably a shoulder height right hand on a small 1-2 finger and a high left foot. Climb up the knobs that all face left to the huge broken off black cobble at the top. You will encounter a bit of technical cranking and some thin feet.
Worth doing for sure but the right starting hold can open you up.
Location This problem climbs the knobby face 5 feet left of the down-climb off of the Glass House Boulder.
Protection Pad and spotter to keep you off the rock about 4 feet behind the problem.

| This problem used to be way easier till a big foot (knob) broke off. All that's left is a little divot.
Painful holds. Cool problem.
There are also 2 problems to the left of this in tiny friable/knobs/flakes that are probably the same grade more or less.
And to the fuck heads who fucked up the tree by the start of this problem...fuck you.
I look forward to seeing you out there and telling you this in person.

| I saw the little divot, right where you would want your right foot to start.
Sharp is the truth, Dave opened his right thumb on the start hold after a handful of tries. |

| Jeremy,
I think you should tell us how you really feel about the tree.

| Yeah, and opened my left knee from popping off the big slopey foothold. Worst thing about it is I'll be back for more... |
