Subject: Which Way Jose
Rating: V9
Quality: 4 stars
Location: Tram
Notes: Phenomenal piece of stone!
One of Tram's ultimate unclimbed problems, dubbed the
Gold Wall project! Chris Lindner bagged a short version
of this mega-problem and named it Which Way Jose. Chris'
problem climbs roughly half of this incredible fracture.
The problem boasts long reaches on fairly incut slots,
with precise footing, all on a glassy and slightly overhung
wall. The problem is slightly contrived, as is possible
to exit to the left in several spots, otherwise, the problem
would get 5 stars. The entire fracture traverse will no
doubt be one of the finest boulder problems on the entire
West Coast! Pads and spotters are recommended as the ground
slopes and there are several large boulders helf embedded
in the ground.
