Hint of Lime

Description

This is a short problem requiring serious body tension.

Sit start with your right side-pulling on a decent knob and a left gaston on an okay scoop.  Stand up to another crappy gaston.  Get your right out to an opposing gaston and transition your left across to match the same lip as your right.  Reach wide right for a good hold above the roof.  Continue to traverse right till you can find a good hold to hook, roll, and mantle out the finish.

The crux is getting into the double gaston and then getting your feet up for the transition to the match.

Location

As you walk along the west side of the rock formation behind the outhouse at Site C in the Practice Rock campgound, you'll pass an off-width crack and shortly after walk between a small boulder on your left and an overhanging rock formation on your right.  Walk 15 more feet after that until you see a small tree against the rock wall.  Look for a scoop feature under the roof; that scoop is the double gaston on Hint of Lime.

Protection

A pad. The lip on the roof is only 7 feet off the ground, but a high heel hook is the likely top out technique, so a pad under the top-out would be a good idea on the unlikely chance your hands blow after you've thrown the heel.
