Press On Nails Sit-Start
Description
A somewhat recent addition by Tim King (2019?), and seconded by me (Andy Patterson) on a unseasonably cool July afternoon in 2020. Without a doubt one of the weirdest, most frustrating boulder problems in the creek, but highly worth it. Let's just say it has ONE foot movement that will have you tearing your hair out. Unsure about grade. The few strong climbers who have tried it have either walked away in frustration, or just gave it hell and found themselves at the top, bewildered and ecstatic—and still unsure about how hard it is.
Begin with right foot in little pocket near the ground, right hand on tiny edge, and left on chalky ramp. Fire out and right to vertical rail. Proceed to slap, compress, heel-hook, etc.
Location
Shady upstream side of boulder.
