Heads or Tails

Heads or Tails is a beautiful, safe problem sitting on the shores of a lake at 12,000 feet. There is no dab factor, and the landing is a grass beach. What more could you ask for in a boulder?

Begin sitting on a cluster of sharp crimps. Move up to a sweet, left hand, horn crimp, then climb up into an undercling feature. The next move is quite a doozy - a long deadpoint with awkward feet to a good sidepull. Finish with an easy topout.

This is definitely part of the Lincoln Lake obscura tour, and I hope that writing it up here will give it some much needed attention. This boulder problem was established at V9. Classic Jimmy.

It is on the beach of the lake (the boulder sits partially in it) a few hundred yards below

Evil Backwards

. If you follow the hillside along the talus down from

Evil...

, it’ll be a short little problem following the faint right arete of the boulder.

2 pads. There is a good landing and no dab factor.
