Start matched on a thin, incut, vertical seam at or above chest height on the right side of the face before the large, vertical crack that cuts up the tallest portion of the boulder. Move left through a higher and larger vertical crack and to the arete. Top out following the arete until some great jugs for hands and foot holds make rolling onto the slab trivial.

The rock is amazing, and the feet are just tricky enough to make this worthwhile. This is a beautiful problem, albeit fairly short, and it was named for testing out a pair of 70s EB Super Grattons on the climb.

I would be quite surprised if someone had not done this before me. Please update the FA/name/

etc

. as needed!

Super Gratton

Stupid Silly

Crazy Train

Stupid Silly is more of a joke problem, but it is fun nonetheless. The real challenge is to do it with a drink in one hand. Start in the large dish, blindly grasp a crimp to move into the jug hueco, and top out.

Stand start with any two crimps in the patina on the right (west) side of the arete. Move up using both sides of the arete, then move right to obtain the obvious flake on the climber's right - a reachy move for most. Enjoy the namesake hollow flake which is very suspect and changes pitch when you knock it as you go higher. Hanging on the bottom of the flake one can play the beginning of Crazy Train with the obtained acoustics.
