Subject: Big Phish
Rating: V4
Quality: 3 stars
Location: Tram
Notes: Slippery like a fish

Big Phish was first found and ascented by Marc Roth. He named the problem in honor of the band Phish's farewell tour. That and when you describe the moves its like describing "the one that got away". Also, it kinda looks like a big fish. Its definately slippery like a fish. The problem has hella reachy moves, shorter folk may not even be able to make the spans.

The problem starts from a sit at a jug near the base of a crack. Pull the "easy" looking ramp, that seems to have no-stick climbing shoe repellant on it. Make a huge span to a hanging flake system. Work the flake system, then bust for jugs at the lip. The climb is 13ft. tall and has an uneven and somewhat precarious landing area.
