Shanghai Blaze

Shang-High Boulder:

Walk past the "S.L.S." Boulder along the Listening Rock trail. As the trail meanders downhill, it appears you are leaving the boulders. The trail will wrap left again and a sharp inclined boulder face will be seen sticking up, overhanging beside of the trail. To the far right of the main face you will find the yellow trail blaze that gives the problem its namesake. Lower and to the right there is a bisecting crack/crevasse/deep diagonal line. On the right side of this line is where you sit start, matched on a protruding jug. Heel hook and move left to use the tiny crimps on either side (within inches) of the yellow painted blaze. From the tiny little crimps, make a large move further left to gain better crimp rails, and then into jugs. Use massive ledge jugs to continue up the face to top out to the right of the tallest portion of the boulder.
