Fun with unusual climbing for Rocklands.

Same start as ramskop

left foot on chip to start

Trad vibes for the top move

Low quality

Crux is not dabbing

Feels hard for 6a+ if you're short.

a bit sandy

Sharp af

Rough start for 7a.

Yeah, not a 5+.

Onsight in approach shoes, no way this is 6c.

Sit start adds a bit of difficulty.

This line seems wrong on the topo. Natural line is starting on the big jugs to the right and climbing slightly left and then up. Gorgeous climbing.

Hollow flakes, pull down not out. Confusion with Bols Island, topo line seems wrong, this line probably takes the big jugs left of the shallow dihedral.

Kinda contrived and confusing description/videos. Avoiding jugs out left makes 7a regardless of finish.

Slabs aren't my jam, but this didn't feel very hard.
