A sporting problem that is sure to surprise.  Start left of the

Elephant's Trunk

problem and climb up to a nice horizontal break (small plant grows in the break please leave it alone!) Take a shake and take time to study the technical moves over a small bulge (Crux) that is guarding the top out.  Fun climb for the grade.  I would have a spotter for this one.

This is a testpiece of sloper skill and balance-intensive footwork. Begin with a right in a good slopey rail and a left on another sloper. Paste a high right foot, rock up and begin the slope-fest. A tenuous, left foot, heel smear and a toss to crumbling, granite texture is only the beginning. A paucity of holds guards the topout from those not willing to fight for it.

Grab the starting hold of

Huge Mammal

with your right hand and first crimp with your left hand. Pick the feet you like, and make a massive jump up and right around the bulge to the huge jug. This uses a combination of power/body and position/coordination...and it's freaking hard. It could be 10. Time will tell.

A great problem.  Powerful crimp and technical sloper climbing to the right and around the corner of the

Elephant's Trunk

problem.  Starting down low in a scoop with a sloping crimp rail move up and left towards the

Elephant's Trunk

.  When the rail runs out to the last small right hand crimp you must toss left to a poor sloper with a ripple of texture.  Next heel hook on the sloping rail with your right foot and pull your body in tight as you move up with your right hand to another sloper.  Adjust your feet and slap and fight your way to the top.  The trick is finding the right slopers with the right little divots in them.

Start as for

Huge Mammal

, but reach out low and right to the massive jug. Walk your feet over, and reach up to a sidepull crimp. Do a hard bump move with your right hand to a sloping seam, and then cross your left hand to the jug rail. Top out crawling through the tree branches.
