The Flogiston

V8, Boulder, 15 ft (5 m),  Avg: 4 from 7 votes
FA: Rob Guinn
Utah > W Desert > Ibex > Bouldering > Fossil Canyon

Description

Stand start with a good scoop for the left, and a poor sloper for the right, then move up to a scoop for the right. A cruxy move into a lefthand pocket and a small toss for the jug slot are the hardest moves of the problem. Finish off with some big and/or finicky moves left to a big triangle hold, then up and slightly back right following the mini-corner / crack to jugs on the lip and a mellow topout.

Location

30 minutes up Fossil Canyon, just above and to the right of the wash. Furthest left problem on the steep south face.

Protection

Several pads make a nice runway...The climbing is steep, and the landing slopes away slightly.
