Subject: Over the Boardwalk
Rating: V7
Quality: 2 stars
Location: Tram
Notes: Impressive looking line
Over the Boardwalk was First climbed by Wills
Young in around '97. The problem remained a core testpiece
at Tram until Dan Mills came along years later and added
the sit start to it, upping the ante, and creating a new
generation testpiece which he called Left Hand of
Darkness. The original start, however, is still a
great problem with an exciting move to the sloping top.
The problem has a really high start at two thin crimps
about 7 1/2 ft. up. Most people have to stack a few pads
to even reach it. From the two crimps, crank the cruxy
start to a horizontal crack with some large slots in it.
Follow the crack as it curves to the left and up, for
about 3 or 4 feet. Set up and launch for the lip of the
boulder. The lip is about 14ft. high, and its sloping
nature makes for some good times.
