Tomahawk

Tomahawk is one of the most popular boulder problems in the Colorado alpine and rightfully so. Originally graded V12, this problem has settled very solidly at V10.

The second half of the boulder is classic compression climbing with several pumpy moves all the way to the very end. A tall finish keeps the desperate on their toes for sure!
