Compression Lesson

Super B

Right to left traverse on the side facing the river. The farther right you start the longer and harder it could be. Moves left and up until you run out of hold near a small tree. Possible sloper top out.

Near vertical north face on boulder 3. The rock is cracked kind of like dried mud. You can go direct or work the right edge for a variation. Starting as low as you can and to the right makes it more difficult.

This route is just to the right of Super B.  I left it un-named because I have not been able to finish it.  I've done the bottom half but have not done the top.  I'm not to eager to try the large off width at the top by myself with only one pad.  I would name it Split Decision but if someone does climb it, name it what you will. 

  It starts just to the right of the broken face of Super B.  There's one large dish (flake) for a left hand and a horizontal crack for a right.  From there you have to go straight up through a blanker section and then on to the sloping edge of the main boulder.  Once you gain the ledge you have to transition to the off width splitter above and top out. 

  The transition is the tough part but I know it will go.  I can see the holds and it's a solid edge.  It's just a long way to fall if you are by yourself.  It would be possible to put a top rope on it and I might try that one day.

The crux is getting your foot work right, while on the top slopers. Good holds on the way up, a gaston and a few crimps. Top is the worst, negative angle pinches and one sharp crystal to crimp down on. It will give you a lot of trouble if you don't focus on balancing and shifting your weight.

This is a direct route on the main face of Boulder 3.  It starts in the middle of the No Good Ending traverse and goes straight up to the highest point of the boulder. 

  It starts off on the cracked and juggy face that turns into an almost smooth face about half way up.  The midway point is a small ledge that makes for an awkward mantle.  The crux is next with a a small vertical edge to crimp on to the right and a horizontal pincher straight up.  This one is a lot about balance and not straight power. 

  It's a really fun route and probable my favorite now in Hitchiti.  The top out is a little sketchy but like always the Chiti rock is super grippy and there is plenty there to get you over the top after the crux.

Boulder 3 is part of a group of boulders. #3 is the far left boulder of the group. The main feature is a large gap between boulders with north facing cracked face. So far we have done 2 routes on this short fissured face.
