DON'T. it buries crucial feet for matrix reloaded. And the fall isn't that bad as long as you plan your pads well.

Dameat, the headwaters were developed recently as you know, with that in mind the areas were named in relation to what had been climbed. This being the South area (which has chicken catchatori) and the North Area (main area). It was called North area because it was north of the south area... see Craig Fry's southern california bouldering guide for more on it.

It's worth noting that there is a variation to the top out.

A) the original way (Bill Leventhal) followed the obvious loaf pinches out to the right, leading to good positive edges after committing moves.

B) the alternate way (Banny Root variation) uses the left arete and a far left pinch for a more direct, though inobvious, finish which eases the grade to probably a V8 and risks possibly damaging a crucial crimp in the process.

White Angel

Dark angel is Jarod's eliminate variation which heads up before even reaching sledgehammer (or pile lieback for that matter). And Weston, Julian & Michael listed it (white angel) as 10.

OK, so ignore what i said before- i deleted the post.

I went to steele today and sent it.

Beta is as follows, at second rail, with both hands on rail, kick left foot up onto rectangular block on the far left of the seam/ledge. Rock onto it with your right hand pulling down hard on the sloper, reach up and high with the left, either to the first crimp at the obvious flake, or the higher one about 8 inches up and to the right of it, foot hand match with your right side. Then up...

i believe you grab something (i can't remember if it was a crimp or an incut or what) in the right corner of the second ledge, highstep with the left, than reach up around the slope to the left, find something decent, bring right straight up and over and you're done.

North Area
Oct 6, 2009
theres the prow which i believe is a v9 on the naked edge boulder, it starts on the right side, there is the compression problem starting on the left side, there is a sit start to pungi sticks (i believe) done by weston ureda, and probably more that dameat knows about.

i actually enjoy this problem, after i sent it the first time i made an effort to get it dialed, the movements (or atleast my beta for it) feels to flow very freely and i enjoy the aesthetic of it.
