Description

Jump start to a good sloper jug, from here make some hard moves on credit card crimps until you get to the decent ledge. From here make a huge move up to a good crimp and don’t die on the topout. Yes It’s likely not V10 but it’s so classic you shouldn’t care about the grade.

Location

LeConte Boulder

Protection

Lots of pads and spotters

There's a single bolt on top of the boulder (I didn't see it, can't comment on condition). An enterprising soul with a long static line and a set of ladders can climb up the Kor Practice line and set a top rope to work this problem without risking the shin-snapping fall from the crux. Shenannigans abound. Oct 30, 2023
