Malia from B-town
Description
Malia from B-town is more of a roped up boulder problem than a sport route, but it is fun nonetheless - short and sweet, much like Malia dog. This is another direct start to
Obscurity Risk
. Start on the same rail as for
Brenda from Kansas
, then move up and left via power sidepulling culminating in a long finishing move off a very cool slimper.
*** UPDATE and BETA WARNING ***
Turns out the newly bolted part of this route had been bouldered out in Spring 2020, or thereabouts, by Ilias Hosain. He named the boulder problem Ready for Life and graded it v10:

I'm going to leave the route information as is since we did the whole route. As far as grade, I think if you boulder this thing up to the ledge, you should take v10: serious consequences blowing the long move off the heel. However, with a rope, the headiness is not there and 13c seems fair.
Protection
