Subject: Swamp Thing
Rating: V7
Quality: 2 stars
Location: Tram
Notes: One move wonder
Swamp Thing is another Dan Mills creation, put up in
'02. Dan originally gave it a V10 rating, but sneaky heel
hooking ninja beta masters whittled it down to a V7. If
your craving the double dij. sting, try it sans heel hooks.
The problem is a one move wonder that climbs the blunt
buttress of a sweet chunk of granodiorite.
Start at high knobulous nebulosities just above the overhanging
buttress. A long reach over the bulge to a thin fracture
opens the problem up. Finish up a 20ft. tall slabby arete.
Several annoying boulders lie at the base of the problem,
so bring your pads!
