Description

The crux is probably pulling off the ground but being an arete commitment is essential throughout.

Two possible ways to finish this problem - commit to the arête and rail out left to the highpoint of the boulder before mantling over ​​or ​​​move onto the right side of the arête and finish up patina knobs to a mellow finish.

  • Three stars for the left finish and two stars for the right.

Location

The northwest arête of the boulder bordering the smooth green face.

Protection

Pads, spotter
