John's Problem

Description

Start standing with hands matched on a good incut flake at head height. Find some feet and deadpoint/dyno to a decent edge/sidepull up and left. From here, figure out a way to get your feet established on the starting hold and then angle left on thin crimps and small feet to the finish.

The Kemple guidebook says to jump start, but I was able to do a normal stand start and it felt pretty much the same in difficulty. It also felt like the far more logical start.

The rock quality is somewhat questionable on this climb and many of the holds are hollow. This makes the finishing moves even more exciting! Still, this is a fun and worthwhile climb deserving of more traffic.

Location

This climb is located to the right of 'Fido' and 'Cast Away' on the 45 To Life Boulder. It starts below a smooth grey slab.

Protection

A few pads and perhaps a spotter.
