Dionysus
Description
The crux of the boulder is most likely trying to throw for a flat jug. Start with your right hand on a roughly 15mm crimp and your left hand on a decent sidepull/ undercling. Start with your feet on a small boulder underneath the problem. Make slaps with your right hand on the arête, and move your left through the bad underclings in the lower corner. Place an aggressive heel hook when you throw for the flat jug, then traverse barely left on good jugs. Move your heel hook to your ear to make daring moves up the crystal pinches. The topout is fairly easy if you can stand up from the heel.
Location
When you park to get to True Gulch at the concrete tunnel underneath the highway, follow the small river that goes straight up the canyon. Eventually you will see a smallish but wide pool, and up river from that is Dionysus.
Protection
Pads and a spotter.
