Location: Tram
Notes: Great sloper problem for the grade
Not much is known about this obscure little problem,
secluded on a low ridge between two major areas. The first
known ascent is by Rob Mulligan, back in the Flash Gordon
days. The problem climbs across some good rock, traversing
knobs and knobby slopers.
Start at the far right side of the boulder at a head
high knob. Angle left and up along a dished out ramp,
climbing on slopers and knobules. A hand size knob marks
the mantel over point. The climb tops out at 9ft. Its
also possible to top out just about anywhere along the
ramp, for some good variations.
