Sloping

Jon let me know if this is what you where trying. I can rename it Apocalypse Now if it isn't the same. A upper lip traverse of what I did is possible. This was the weakness I found. I also did that Problem further down left that starts on slanted slopers. I traversed low on pockets. Got right hand good sloper crimp and left hand match and fired up to a jug and then topped out on this really mossy dirty mantle on the point that felt pretty tough in the heat. Darren said you guys were trying it and you pulled a crimp off into you face. Didn't know if you went back and sent and if so by which mean (high or low?) and which top out. Pretty sweet problem. Darren wanted to call it Swollen Brow.

Yea what we were trying was to go straight up from the start and then go over into The End, but this is still pretty cool. For now I will just change the current one to Apocalypse and then if you do the line that goes straight up, you can add it. And yea, that other problem gave me quite the headache from the hold breaking off. Love the idea for the name. We actually went higher. Of course it would obviously be much harder now without that crimp, but still possible. The slopy crimp you went into was actually another route we were trying to establish. I tried it after almost busting my head open but was just too tired. But yea, combining the two is cool as well. Up to you of course.
Also, I found a new area you might want to check out. Climbed there today and am gonna put it up on here. The area is in Sidon, Ar. It is on a friend on mine's land and I am gonna talk to him about letting people climb out there. I have only been there twice now searching and I believe we have only scratched the surface of the rock in that general area. Much like Mossy and Riverside, the walls just need to be cleaned and the fragile rock broken off. There are boulders everywhere!

SDS on a left hand slopey gaston and a right hand pinch 6" directly above it. slap feet on and make a move low and to the left to a very slopey rail. Then throw hard left hand to the start of "The End" Finish on THE END.
