Description

On the east or bottom side of Out of Sight boulder is this Woodson classic. Crux comes at the bottom of the climb funky offwidth lead to slightly big hands. The climb is longer than it looks from the ground. I have seen Out of Sight rated 5.10a in some guide books. However, it is a 5.9 and protects well.

Location

Two turns before top of hill there is a climbers trail to the east side of the road. Trail starts in a big open area take trail 2 hundred yards down and look for a giant Boulder balanced on top of a flat Boulder with kerns next to it. Boulderleft side of that trail.

Protection

Use a #3 or 4 at bottom crux. A #2 fits great as you go to hands. Two # 3's will get you to the top of the crack. Gear anchor using mid size cams in the Horizantal crack at top of climb. Walk off back of boulder.
