Description

Slightly overhanging pulls on sizeable edges lead to a crux move to reach a large hold - shorter climbers may be at a disadvantage here. Run the feet up and mantle your way to the top. 

  • The downclimb is off the backside and stays very near the arete.

Location

Located on the left side of the west face of the Triangle Boulder which is situated roughly midway between Caveman and Stem Gem.

[Hide Comment] I suck at slab. I really suck at downclimbing slab. Too bad, because the first few moves of this thing felt really fun, but I wasn't willing to commit. Oct 28, 2020
