Sphincter, 6B+

Start as per "Pinch Parade", but head directly up through scoop. (Kyle Marco & Evan Erickson climbed a problem on this boulder, naming it "Sphincter". Exact original problem has been forgotten, so the name has been applied to this line)

Pinch Parade, 6B

Sit-start right of the arete, using left-hand sloper in concave feature below lip, and right-hand on a very small, sharp crimp in the overhang. Follow lip holds up and right, eventually topping out above the rock on your right. Can exit early up the left-leaning crack, at the same grade.
