Starch the New Year

Starch the New Year climbs a decent section of overhanging rock. It has enjoyable movement that requires thoughtful hand and foot placement.

Sit start matched on a layback jug. From there, gain a right hand sidepull, walk your feet over to a heel hook, gain an incut left hand, follow to a right hand edge next to it, stick a big right hand crossover edge, gain the left hand jug, use the bumps to gain position, and mantel atop the boulder.

It climbs the west face of the Miller Block in between

A pair of pads. The landing is very good.
