In the Face of Danger

Description

This climb is prominent, inspiring, and a little bit dicey, with great moves! 

To start it, step off the big platform onto the start holds (low left hand slopey sidepull, right hand incut but small crimp) above a very dangerous gap in the platform. Climb up through a small horn and a gaston to a jug near the tree, then a fairly moderate topout.

Important: have an attentive spotter ready to push you *away* from the boulder onto the pads, to avoid the pit (maybe throw a pad down in the pit anyway in case you slide down). I felt fairly safe on it because you are pushing away from the pit to move upward, but the feet are very bad so a slip is possible.

Location

To the left of the Black Angus Boulder and to the right of the Bubblegum boulder. A large upward slanting rock platform leads to a prominent slightly overhanging face to the right of the tree. The platform drops off to a dangerous pit (about 2 feet wide) right before the boulder, spot this well!

Protection

Pads and *SPOTTER*
