Description Suggest change

Start on the right side of the slab and work your way up the arête. Set up on a pinch out left, then either throw to the hueco, or make a tenuous reach on smeary feet. Work your feet up and throw to the lip. It's a jug!

The hueco seems to be a ball of quartz that has eroded away to form a hold. The rock inside is friable, but there is a good crimp on the left side as well as a bomber undercling on the top right. With more traffic it may hollow out even more.

Location Suggest change

Look straight ahead as you approach the Zelda boulders and you will see the striking arête of the Architect. The Engineer climbs the left side of this arête.

Protection Suggest change

The landing for this problem is a true feat of engineering! Bring as many pads as you can.

There is a bolt on top that seems bomber enough.

There are a collection of sticks and logs directly under the boulder that make it a more or a less flat landing to place crashpads on. Please be mindful not to step on/break them because without them the problem would be significantly more dangerous.
