Description

On the left side of the overhang, there is a obvious slanting rail. Start on the ground, and find the best foothold. Work your hands up the slanting rail until you reach the top of it. Make a big reach up to one of the holds at the top of the boulder. Match and mantle.

A great problem on a classic boulder. Enjoy!

Location

The sloth boulder is the large boulder next to Swan Slab, just south of the footpath.

Protection

A crashpad is not required.
