This is a compression line on the far right arete of the boulder when approaching it. It starts behind a juniper tree on a great double undercling start and feet as low as you can put them. It goes straight up to a good, left-facing sidepull for the left hand then surfs out right immediately to a dogbone pinch on the southeast face, and then begins the compression portion. It then follows the arete with the left hand, using heel hooks out left and a few holds on the southeast face for the right hand, culminating in a crux revolving around a rad loaf pinch for the left hand and a slippery undercling pinch on a spike for the right hand.

It kind of climbs similar to Tomahawk at Lincoln Lake where no move is V9 or V10, but the culmination of difficult moves without a rest start to add up, and it doesn't let up until you pull over the lip with a cool finishing jug at the end of the left-to- rightward traverse.

With great movement and friendly holds, it climbs better even than it looks.

Too Much Lip

Not Enough Teeth

Sit start with R. Hand on a good right hand undercling and your left hand on the bottom of two small, flat sidepulls. Pull off the ground, and fire left. Get your hand high to a good crimp rail. Navigate your right hand into a good, undercling pinch, and find your way to the top. The crux is the first two moves, with the climb backing off in difficulty for the topout.
