1 crash pad and a good spotter are really all you need. A second pad would be nice though.

Located on the backside of the Alfred's Hideaway Boulder. The boulder is about 12-15 feet high and one side is a big flat overhang wall. When looking with that wall there is an arete. The climb start standing on some stones that were already there. Stand start on two knobs left hand on the higher and right on the lower. Make a move out left to a diagonal incut rail. Match that and then make a shouldery move way up and left to a good edge. Bump out left to find a 2-3 finger pocket in the top of the edge. Match and half mantle up to an incut side pull and top out.

5 out of 5 stars this route is very fun

i spotted this problem while on a morning hike to get warm and thought that it looked really hard. I stumbled upon it 2 weeks later while bouldering with my girlfriend and thought I should give it a try. Turns out that its hard. But not as hard as I thought.
