Want to take a day off from the heady highballing on Boulder 1?  Are you looking for something more arbitrary than the last eliminate you flashed?  Are you unafraid to flail on something not much larger than a Volkswagen Bug in the heart of The Point for all to see?  If so, then consider this little gem.

Start seated under the roof, matched on the obvious large jug in the middle of the roof.  Move out left to a decent crack.  Then, using whatever feet you can find and some creative body positioning, pull yourself directly over the roof and mantel onto the steep, slab face.  Congrats, you are now king of the pebble wrestlers.

Per Urban Rock, this goes at V5. Enjoy.

Corner Mantel

Right Mantel

Traverse

Start seated at a large, blocky feature, then traverse right on slopers to a crack, then continue right to go around the bulge and eventually onto the slab above. Avoid touching the rock behind.

This can also be done from right to left, starting with hands on the far right slopers and topping out in the same way as Corner Mantel, at one grade higher.

Great movement and a fun exercise in the art of not dabbing.
