Description


Mantel the Cube
The Cube one of THE most popular problems at Tram. It climbs a super obvious arete on the unmistakable Cube boulder. Put up by Frank Cornelius, a while back, and named Dancing Queen. That name never quite caught on though, as everyone refers to it these days as the Cube.
The problem starts as a low sit at a sidepull. Bust up to a series of flat rails, then crank to the beautiful sloper at the lip. Press out the mantle at the point (E.Z.Mantel), or - if you're not an olympic gymnist, traverse left on the sloping lip for several feet and then mantle over.

Only somewhat agree. I love the throw to the lip ... it's still a a great problem. (But Green Hornet is better :)

The problem is OK, but get's way too much pub. Many better V5's at Tram! It's just centrally located, and way too photographed. Looks and photos way better than it climbs.
