Description

Sit start on tough crimps, and climb the very short face to a comfortable topout on jugs. This is essentially a one-move-wonder to the lip.

Location

This is to the right of Backseat Hammond, past the small boulder that obstructs some of the wall. It is wedged between the Alcove Island Boulder and Alcove Entrance Boulder. 

Protection

A pad and an attentive spotter. Just a few feet back from this climb is the arête of the back side of the Alcove Entrance Boulder. It would be very easy to fall backwards off this climb and hit the back of your head on this arête. It's short enough that you don't need a pad under you, so I recommend your spotter hold your pad vertically behind you and watch your head carefully.
