The Anvil

This striking overhanging arete on the NE corner of the rock is the true king line of the boulder. Interesting holds, varied movement, and a little spice at the top add up to a great climb at the grade. Start sitting with your left hand on a good rail and right on a crimp on the arete. Pinch and slap your way up the blunt edge with the help of crimps on the face until you hit a good jug slot below the nose of the overhanging prow. Make your way up and left, climbing out of the overhang and onto the headwall. Top out at the end of the arete.

If you are looking at the main (north) face of the boulder with the cracks in it, this climb ascends the left arete.
