Description:

This is one of the most beautiful problems at the Gunks. Lots of chalk on this black boulder make this sit-start line easy to spot. With hands side-pulling, slap all the way up the (sort of) arete. Wonderful open-handed holds.

3 out of 5 stars good

Good problem, definitely not my style, had to work for the tick. Hit it in the shade on a cool day, otherwise it's super greasy
