Baby's First Highball

V-easy R, Boulder, 17 ft (5 m),  Avg: 2 from 1 vote
FA: April 2023
Connecticut > CT Bouldering > Dead Man's Cliff

Description

The problem starts standing with 2 chunky hand holds just above head level. Large chunky feet make it an easy position to pull into. Move straight up and into the crack. The final move is the scariest and the crux. There is a flake in the crack so watch your head. A fall from this position is dangerous even with pads.

Edited: not an eliminate. Climb description has been made more broad to allow for creativity.

Location

When at the base of the cliff line move to the far right hand side, towards the obvious slab. Just right of the slab you will see a section that has a 3-4ft wide crack at the top of it. The start is just below the central line.

[Hide Comment] For descriptions it is generally frowned upon to try to list all of *your* beta - different people climb things differently. Please consider changing your description to describe the problem rather than the beta. Example: Starting with hands on the horizontal ledge climb up left of overhanging block using face holds and crack. Jun 2, 2023
