Lonely Journey





On a cloudy evening, I decided to wander over to the Lone Boulder, its a bit out of the way, but the pages said it was just about worthwhile, I flashed the problem on the sheet, routes needs traffic, lichen grows well when allowed to.

Anyways, heres the description -

Lonely Journey V0/5a - fa Jh 7-6-6

Located on the main face of The Lone Boulder Start left side of face, on small ledge, traverse right keeping low towards the middle of the face (do not use the obvious crack for hands) From middle, rise and rock up onto right foot on right side flake. Stand this and move left rising slightly without using the small grassy ledge at base of crack, cont left and finish up left most side of face to top. Using neither arete, only touching top on last move. (using aretes, ledge and crack lower grade to 4a/b) Crimpy and requiring delicate feet on mix of smears and small edges.
