The Hesitator
Description
Ah, another memorable Barney's climb. Start on slab, and feel good about yourself when you reach the sloping, chill out ledge about 8 feet off the ground. Then start feeling kind of uncomfortable. It's easy to stay on the ledge, since it's huge, but there don't seem to be many holds above you. You may hesitate to commit to whatever funked-up sequence you have to use to snag the good lip above.
(Excessively tall people will find this easier. For full value, be under 6 feet tall).
Location
On the wall left of the Slice of Cake boulder. About ten feet left of a tree (and Tree Crack behind it), you'll see a large sloping ledge about 8 feet up. Climb into that, and finish straight up.
Protection
1 pad, although it won't feel very useful when you are doing the upper section. It is possible to create an anchor on the other side of the boulder and use a rope, as the fall is significant.
