Description

This has super cool movement. Worth spending some time on, this one feels good to send.

I'm not sure of the history of it, but there are potential variations on this line. I started with both hands as high as I could reach (gouging right finger lock, left hand poor/open grip), establish your feet, and fire straight up to a poor edge. Then do the crux throw, and finish left on the overlap feature, same as the V4 on this wall.

This faces south - you don't want to climb this when it's hot.

Location

This is not strictly on the Bolt Boulder, but I can't stand it when we build a subsection for every single bloc that is a two minute walk from the others. Everything from

Podophile

, Pop A Loose Nut, the warm up boulder on the trail, and Sap are all in the Bolt Boulder area.

Start by finding the Bolt Boulder, which is a couple minutes up the hill from the T intersection that you reach if you take the main LEFT trail at Lumpy. At the T (left goes to Black Canyon, right goes Gem Lake), take a right, you'll see Bolt Boulder on your left after a steep incline. Hike past this, and take the climber's trail left above that. Then look for Sap, V9/10 on the left (chalked, obvious pretty roof), and continue on the trail for another ten seconds, looking left. Use the photo to ID - you can see it uphill from the east-west climber's trail.
