The Frolic

Description

The Frolic has fun, juggy climbing with a R/X landing and a cruxy topout.

Begin standing on a big shelf below an obvious, horizontal crack (just left of the wide crack splitter), and move left utilizing underclings to gain the arete with the left hand. Take a deep breath, and commit (or better yet, bail), because it won't get any easier - throw right to a good shelf, then negotiate a spicy exit.

Falling at the crux would be unpleasant for you and inconvenient for anyone naive enough to spot you.

This is a worth while problem if you like serious, Samurai style bouldering.

Location

On the cliff band directly uphill from the Vintage Block and 50' to the right of

Praying Mantel

, this climbs the arete and face left of an obvious, wide crack.

Protection

I did it with one pad and one spotter, but much more is recommended.
