Robot RickSon: The Last Samurai

Description

A bit of a contrived line, but fun, technical movement on the traverse finished off with the existing Robot Nixon line.  Start inside the big, body sized dish with decent feet requiring some balance, a bit of a body tension, left hand palm press low and right on crimpy side pull.  Move hands higher across a slopey left or a couple crimpy holds higher than your head directly above starting position.  Reconfigure feet (possibly match feet) and traverse right.  We used an interesting thumb hold (beta credit to Tricky Ricky of the Circle City Hustlers) to aid the traverse and karate kick (depending on height) to the opposing wall.  Figure out body positioning and handholds to prevent the barn door and settle (or STABILIZE as they say in Brazil) on the start holds on Robot Nixon.  Finish with the established line.

Location

Traverse starts left of Robot Nixon in the body sized dish like feature on the boulder.  Link the traverse with starting holds on Robot Nixon and top out the previously established RN line.  (there is also a line that goes directly up the boulder from the starting holds of this traverse, but it's just a couple moves)

Protection

Pad; spotter preferred.
