Description

Begin from a sit start at the downvalley end of the cave and smack slopers and heel/toe-hook your way out the underbelly of the cave's capstone to the upvalley end of the cave, where you exit above a boulder just below your butt. This problem sports lots of oppositional compression and sick footwork, just like the stand start

Mirror Mask

. Note that if you fall off the finishing moves, you probably tumble back down into the cave.

The rock is perfect on this problem, the line is obvious and the 4 superhumans that have done it were all psyched on it. However, because this problem resides down in a talus cave and has DAB potential as you exit the cave at the end, I've given it only 3 stars.

Location

Big Worm and the stand up version,

Mirror Mask

, are located in an interesting and unique cave about 150 yards uphill and slightly upvalley from the Dali Boulder. When you reach the Dali Boulder, continue diagonalling up and right, attempting to skirt around the talus field to the west. When you reach an open area look for a pile of blocks that has a 15 foot long cave down inside them. Another block caps the cave and the problem climbs the underbelly of this boulder starting on one end of the cave and exiting the other. Scramble down into the cave and behold! Both

and Big Worm are obvious if you find the cave and have any business trying them.

Protection

A couple Organics down in the cave and a small pad under your butt as you exit the cave above a talus boulder.
