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.
