Description

The crimpiest line on the Beth Wald boulder climbs through small crimps just left of Potato Chips. Two obvious variations exist.
The V7 version starts on the same holds (a left-hand crimp and right-hand sidepull crimp) as Potato Chips, then moves immediately left into a small, left hand crimp. Center avoids all holds on Potato Chips after the start, following a line of sharp, but increasingly positive, crimps to the lip of the boulder.
A more direct, V9 variation starts from a crouch on a poor right-hand crimp and left-hand undercling (or crimp) and climbs straight into the line describe above.

Location

The line immediately left of Potato Chips.

[Hide Comment] I found this eliminate too contrived. Hard to tell what's on and what's not. Dec 3, 2019

[Hide Comment] If it’s good, it’s not on... Start on potato chip, left hand to a small pinch crimp, right hand to a small crimp just above the left hand, big dead point to a left hand slopey side pull near the lip then right hand to the jug side pull right under the lip (or direct to the lip), top out.

[Hide Comment] Might as well call this chip center left, since the center direct has its own page. I thought this was a lot of fun. Mar 20, 2021
