Bordeaux
Description
Start from a stand on pads, left on a crimp sidepull with a thumb catch and right pinching the heck out of the arete just to the right.Pick a foot, and with difficulty and maybe a slight hop off the pad to get going, gain holds above and top out the arete.An elegant, pure and hard boulder with a distinct crux. Shorter folks may need to stack pads.The sit or a lower start will be very difficult but it probably is all there.Also worth noting, jump start with right hand on the pinch for v9 probably.
Location
Tilted boulder is just uphill and right of Smooth Operator.I think the easiest access is to walk up the West Bluff Trail a couple minutes (100 yards) then skirt the base of the first cliff band on the left you reach to the boulder.Five minutes from the car.
