Description
Located about 150 yds S/SE of the Cube. When entering the valley from the trail, continue up the wash about 200-300 yds. The hill holding Green Tea Arete will be to your left, Warm Up Boulder to your S/SE and Like A Virgin on your right.From RTM:
aka: Doles on Crack aka: Nixon Crack aka: She Lives
How many names can one boulder problem possibly have? Well, this one takes the cake as far as Tram goes! Craig Britton swears that he did it first, Wills Young swears he did it first. I have even heard of another old timer that might have done it first, can\'t recall the name though. Whatever you call it, the line is a top quality crack problem. The rock is brilliant, the line pure, it has a nice overhang to it, and its kinda tall too.
Start standing and climb the overhanging lieback crack as it get cruxier towards the top. Seemingly juggy patina plates at the top offer little respite in finishing out the climb. The problem is approximately 16ft. tall.

| fraction Sep 1, 2008 | If Frank's roof is a v3 (which I heard several good climbers agree that it was), then this is v4. I thought this was definitely harder. |
| Heretic Aug 26, 2011 | Who's the nutcase wearing gloves on the Virgin? Hopefully he doesn't show up tomorrow.... =^D |
