Notes: Proud line!
Leave it to Chris Lindner to put up this hard crack boulder
problem. Chris was raised on the phat (and thin!) cracks
of Mt. Woodson, so this difficult crack line was business
as usual for him.
The problem starts as a high stand up at a hand sized
slot in the crack. Crank the crack up to blocky holds
and slopers. Mantel the overhang at around 12ft. high,
then follow the flaring crack up the slab for another
10ft. Downclimb the tree to get off the boulder.
