The Ground Doesn't Lie

Rolofson limits the Overhang area on its West (left) side with The Ground Doesn't Lie. Since there is a good break between The Ground and The Pigeon Pile Pinnacle in the Table Top area, I have followed suit here - for the time being. The Ground... is a small, three bolt, boulder problem

(now extended and retrobolted to 7 bolts)

that sits 50 feet left of the very popular 5.9 called

In Between the Lines

. Its most obvious feature is just being small (

now less so

). Surmount several tricky finger locks passing two clips and solve the crux at the third bolt. Hint: look around. This rounded buttress is something of an arete and has good holds on both sides. I thought that there was an additional sequence to be solved just getting to the anchor after the last bolt. This is a nice problem and is worth figuring out. It feels a little insecure.

Three draws and a rope.

Now, this has 7 bolts.
