Wounded Knee

FA unknown

Description

Located center right of the vertical north face of the Wounded Knee boulder. Starts on the lowest of the obvious chalked horizontal crimps. Pull up through crimps, with a big deadpoint halfway up, then jugs to the top. I think it's called wounded knee because the dark blob that's the obvious starting foothold tends to spit feet off, resulting in wounded knees.

Problem P2 from the Mayer & Moret online guide, "Follow the line of positive edges on the right. A classic crimpfest; probably V3-. Perhaps the best boulder problem at U-Mound. From the lower crimps, try dyno-ing directly for the top jug -- a great V4 dyno problem."

Location

See area description and photos. This is the lowest and farthest north of the boulders in the "Back Side Upper Mound/ Wounded Knee" sector.

Protection

Pad/ spotter. This problem has a perfect flat landing.
