Overlooked, the line on the rock

After bouldering all across the country this remains perhaps my very favorite problem. It is both technical and powerful and involves a greater variety of holds and movements than most boulders. An amazing boulder problem involving crazy beta and full body fitness. Start under the lowest roof in the back of the cave on two hueco pockets in the roof with fairly poor feet but they are there. A few choices here but most people end up in a bat-hang in the wide crack then switch to a heel-toe-cam and make a cool move to the lip of the roof. The holds at the lip seem bad but feel good when you are on them. Sink your fingers in to the crack and pull the last crux getting out from under the roof to better holds and the top. A really fun climb. Beta intensive.

Better Beta is in TestFlight and internal testing. It holds the topo, the beta and your send log, works at the crag with no signal, and syncs when you're back. Leave your email and we'll send an invite.
