Hard to believe how much fun this boulder is. Powerful movement between perfect open handed holds gives the climb a lot of character, and it climbs so well when done correctly. The hard part is that there are a lot of moves on it, and that one of the hardest moves is the last one.

It's also quite popular with visiting climbers, so you're almost likely to run into someone from outside the states or a different region of the country as you are someone who lives on the west side of the Cascades.

The Practitioner

The Coffee Cup

Pure, powerful, beautiful, The Coffee Cup is an elegant hard problem.

Begin on the lowest rail, and work through just three powerful moves on awesome sloping edges. Finish on jugs!

Grade seems to depend heavily on body shape. A broken hold between 2007 and 2018 made it easier than v10, and recent hold breakage in 2018 may have made this harder.
