Description


White...
An amazing super classic highball that is a right of passage at it\'s grade or for any highball climbers.  Start on the obvious juggy arete on the right side of the overhanging face.  Follow the juggy arete up and slightly left making a big span two-thirds of the way up to gain a big flake and a rewarding finish.  The boulder below provides a mental challenge but is relatively safely out of the way.  Still, pads and spotters are useful here.
From rtm:  Considered by many to be the best moderate problem at Jtree, White Rastafarian embodies the heart and soul of Josh bouldering - purity and boldness! First ascented by John Long in the late \'70s, this problem is 30+ years old! Probably older that most boulderers today! White Rastafarian has the purity of being the sole problem on this massive boulder, and it\'s such an obvious line. I\'m sure that most people\'s jaws drop to the floor when they turn the corner and see it for the first time.
