Description
Hike into and through the main area of the Lower Satellites by following the signs to the Third Flatiron. Twenty yards after walking between the A-7 and BBC Boulders, stop and look up to your right off the trail. Fifteen yards off the trail is an undercut boulder above a low-angle slab. Blowin' the Hatch starts low in the middle of the boulder.
Toe to Toe starts under the same overhang as Blowin' the Hatch, but slightly to the right. Begin from a sds on edges under the roof, slide right and out the almost horizontal roof via multiple really sweet slopers and fancy footwork and heel hooks.
For part of the problem you will be above a small, but sharp talus boulder that could do some damage if you back-flopped on it, so bring at least a couple pads and be judicious with their placement.
It was thought to be harder initially, but with the benefit of beta and clean holds, the problem has settled in around V7. Blah blah blah. Have fun fiddling with the slopers!
