The Hard Bulge Problem
Description
This problem is thin and hard. Start on obvious right hand half-pad crimp, left hand edge on the bottom of boulder, and slap your way up and to the left, topping out on the slab above the bulge. This is a project, and it may not go; the grade is approximate, it could be 9 it could be 12, IDK. Needs some opinions, needs some traffic, needs some love. Sergio, Thanh, BA where yall at.
Edit Jan. 2020: was informed that this problem has been done in previous years, not a project any more. was wildly wrong about the grade, both times I posted it. was a fun but sketch climb.
Location
East side of the Badass Boulder, there's a tree kinda close to the start
Protection
4-5 pads and spotter(s). First few moves are low to the ground, but there's a skull-splitting boulder below the spot where this problem tops out, and a tumble down from there. Maybe chossy holds at the top slab too.
