Firecracker Arete

FA unknown
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

A powerful problem that starts with the right hand low in the crack, that runs straight up the boulder. Left hand on a small edge on the arete. Use real good feet to power up to a positive crimp. Move left foot to a bad, but sticky foot. Bump right hand up in the crack (crux for me). One last throw to a sloper and the "business" is done. Then top out on good slopers.

Location

Valley boulder on the face that faces the trail. Right hand in the crack and left on the arete. One step left of Firecracker.

Protection

Pad and a spotter would be nice for the last move but not necessary.
