Subject: The Honey Pots
Rating: V2
Quality: 3 stars
Location: Tram
Notes: Gets it's name from the sap-laden buckets at the top of the problem

Study: The honey Pots is a beautiful lite-moderate problem that exits the right side of a blue/grey wave of granite. Located high above Long Valley at Tram. The first ascentionist of this problem remains a mystery, possibly Wills Young (although he doesn't recall doing it), possibly Rob Mulligan. E.Z. Eric Harrison dubbed the problem “Honey Pots”.
The problem starts from a sit and quickly steepens as it moves up a large “fang” shaped flake. It then exits the near horizontal wave about 10ft. up, moving to the right and onto the headwall, finishing on slopes and slopey jugs. The problem is approximately 14ft.tall at the top with a sloping, soft dirt landing.
