Genesis

V3, Boulder, 10 ft (3 m),  Avg: 3.4 from 150 votes
FA: Adam Henry
Alabama > Horse Pens 40 > Middle > Skywalker Area

Description

The first problem established at Horse Pens. Often tried, and fun to climb with a group helping to figure out the beta. Stand start on enormous underclings. Make a long move to a slopey pod that is easy to stick but hard to move off of. Move up left to a decent sloper or right (further) to a slopey jug. Mantle.

Location

At the end of the main area, near Skywalker and Dinosaur Rock. Genesis faces the Cadillac Thrills area and the bridge. Downclimb just right of the problem.

[Hide Comment] Short vid of my (slightly janky) beta for Genesis. Smart people step up a bit higher with the left foot.
