Slapping da Ass
Description
Hard, powerful moves on decent rock (foot hold can be a little slick at the bottom, but the hand holds are solid). Bump the feet on pretty small, sometimes wet edges, crux comes at the first move off of two incut crimps to a left sloper, then big move out right to a small horn along the rail. Move right along the rail towards the finishing jugs.
Named after the spotter accidentally gave an extra helpful spot on the first attempt.
Location
Take the main trail down to Great Rock Bight on the northwest side of Martha's Vineyard. Once at the beach, walk left towards the point, around the corner, to the large, stand-alone boulder on the beach. The problem is on the right, east-facing side. Keep an eye on the tides, low tide is recommended.
The downclimb is on the west side of boulder, down Slapping da Bass.
Protection
Rocky landing, pad recommended.
