Mr. Mantle
Description
If you're digging a little mantle on an easier route, this is it.
Start on big horizontal plate with hidden crimps. Work your way up to a nice but awkward right crimp. Get a foot on the plate and use a reverse sidepull with your left hand. Go up right again, get feet up, and go for a tough top out.
I would say the moves (except top out) would be considered V1 difficulty, however the crimps are a little mean for a beginner. That, along with the awkward top out, makes up the V2 section.
It's a 4-5 move route and the holds are in awkward positions. It's a good challenge and change of pace, but is quite short of a classic route.
Location
Split Boulders. It's just to the right of Wolf Jr. See pic for location. On the same boulder as Wolf Jr. and same area as Assorted Goods.
Protection
None needed. A pad is nice.
