Description

A great traverse and endurance tester - plus it's fairly high off the ground!! Start all the way at the very left end of the boulder on crimps - as far out left as you can possibly go. Climb all the way around the boulder staying on the HIGH rail to go around the corner into pockets and continue on the high traverse until you reach the Lynx.

Top out on the Lynx (or on the Snarly Arete - fewer moves but still about the same grade.. but I prefer the Lynx topout because then the route climbs all the way around the rock.

I suggest climbing the direct lines first and working the traverse in parts with pads, since you cannot possibly protect the entire traverse. Distribute your pads wisely when attempting the entire traverse. Consider placing a pad for the topout, and/or coming around the corner above "Here Kitty."

Protection

Strategic pad placement or a spotter to move the pad beneath you.
