MapThe Real Crystal Ball Mantel
Description
Start with the opening moves of Pliers, but move left by getting your right hand on the higher left sidepull. Slap up and over the rounded sloper, then mantel the sloping shelf. No cheating by existing right to the jugs.
There are different ways up this depending on what holds are eliminated, with the easiest variation being perhaps a grade lower. This is not to be confused with the problem named "Crystal Ball Mantel," which is on the north side of Turlock.
Location
Starts at the same large undercling as Slime and Pliers, then moves up and left.
Protection
A few pads in case you blow the high crux and come down awkwardly.
