Description

Powerful move on thin crimps with a boulder that sits behind the problem that it seems like you could land on when you swing out.

Start on the arete of Pinball Simulator, but move up into the scooped face to the left. Make some tricky but easier moves to get established on a pair of thin edges. Bust the crux move to the edge a few feet below the lip, then reach to the square cut lip and mantle out.

Location

This problem shares the start of Pinball Simulator but climbs the scooped face to the left of that problem. As the trail heads up the gully it will pass under a steep arete with another boulder on the right. Start on the arete.

Protection

Pads and spotter.
