Tears Of A Lone Wolf

The mega-classic line of this boulder, and probably one of the best lines at Clough. Incredible movement and marginal holds finished with a tough mantle. This is the sit start to The Lone Wolf.

Start sitting low with fantastic heel toe cam, right hand on the bottom of the arete, left under you're heel and right foot smeared. Levitate up to the arete, make a tough match, then decipher the sequence you'll need to get to the top without being too pumped for the scary mantle. Top out and howl at the moon.

On the Lone Wolf Boulder, this is the first arete you see when you approach the boulder.

At least 2 pads, 3 is really recommended. 1 pad would mean you'd have no protection except for on the last 2 moves.
