i was recently out here and got on some pretty tough problems. one problem i was working i would rate at least a V7. as soon as you get to the top of the hill, there is a gigantic boulder on your right (possibly the first generation boulder?), a cave in front of you and a boulder at the top of a hill on your left. the boulder to the left is the one i was working. the problem starts low on a crimp rail. high right foot, flag out left, bump right hand to decent hold, then big move with your left to a crimp. from there its a big move up with your right to a nice ledge. the ledge is the crux because its a huge left hand to a tiny crimp over the lip. i crossed right hand to another crimp then big reach to a jug with your left, then another huge move to a crimp with your right. excellent problem. my friend says he thinks it hasn't been sent....

Sounds like the sit start to "the Popes Pinch."

sweet do you know this area well? i haven't seen any documented climbs except for some V1's and V2's... this is def a lot harder than that. do you know the rating? do you want to climb there sometime?

There is a good handfull of v6-v8 problems here scattered through the woods. Be sure to walk around and check out the the rock on the outskirts as well. Rob, will this place be in the new guidebook?
