6.
Layback V1
Start: At the extreme low point of the crack mentioned in Low
Traverse.
Go: Layback the crack to the top of the boulder.
7. Little Overhang
V0+ *
Start: Same as Layback.
Go:
Instead of laybacking the crack, move up a little and then reach out right for a hold at the bottom of the starter flake.
Move feet right and bring the left hand over to a side pull on the starter flake. Power to the top.
Since the original hold at the bottom of the starter flake broke, this problem is significantly harder.
8.
Koma's Roof (aka Rat Trap) V9/10? **
Start: Sitting beneath the large overhang
on the right side of the north face. Hands matched on undercling.
Go: Out, up and over.
Currently
has seen only a small number of complete ascents. Start may be body-size specific. All the climbers who have completed
the start were fairly short in height. If
you start with the right hand out on the first sloper the grade drops to V8.
9. Overhanging Traverse (aka Polish Traverse) V5***Start: At the bottom
of the right-leaning crack, just left and below the "starter" flake.
Go:
Move up and traverse right past the "starter" flake following hand holds just below or at the lip. Traverse
right onto the small holds of the small west face and continue to a crack. Finish by moving right along the lip of the
rock and step off.
This was a long-established problem with several variations before it became known as the Polish Traverse.
It acquired that name in the early 90s after a number of strong climbers from Poland began working the problem
extensively.
Variations: No-Feet. V6 Speedy
Gonzalez: Skip the dished-out "golf ball" hold above the lip halfway along the west face and also skip
the pinch hold that most people use ... going straight from the low sloper and crimp with one big move to the crack.
V7
10. Highway Connector V2 *
Start: As one ends the left-to-right version
of Rat Rock Traverse or
the High Traverse.
Go:
Stay high as you move right toward the right-leaning crack. Use holds above the "starter" flake and below
the lip to link up with the Overhanging Traverse.
An excellent link-up problem that is fun to do by itself.
11. Smack the Dragon V6
**
Start: Beneath last dark
overhang that marks the end of the Polish Traverse. Left hand on side-pull, right hand on low, tiny crimp.
Go:
Up and right. A powerful move with the left hand to the small prominent flake beneath the obvious large one.
Continue moving up and right using the larger holds along the lip of the overhang.
12. Ashima Mandala V8 *
Start: Same start as for Smack the Dragon.
Go: Make the same opening move with the left hand as Smack the Dragon.
Then move right, staying low on tiny crimpers and then moving up on more tiny crimpers until you are forced to top out at
the far end of the overhang.
