Natural Progression

FA Stephen Meinhold
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

Do the same arete start as for The Project (13c), and break left at the first bolt. Climb through the next couple of bolts of 5.12ish climbing, finishing with one strange move to a mondo resting jug.

Gear up for the last fifteen feet of the climb, a tough boulder problem that might be even tougher for the vertically challenged (but then again, what isn't at the New?) - a ridiculously huge deadpoint, a desperate match on nothingness, and then a final frantic lunge for an edge.

Location

The clear arete at the left side of the Area 51 amphitheater. The Project breaks right after the first bolt; Natural Progression goes straight up.

Protection

Bolts to a two-bolt anchor. Usually features a leaver biner at the crux bolt.
