10m. The massive left arête on the back of the Extinction Risk boulder, climb the arête on its right side until you reach a ledge at 2/3rds height. The crux comes right before the top at a height that you don’t want to fall off. Bad landing but could be considered a 6A/+ highball boulder problem.

βeta: Cleaned properly now, all loose holds and moss have been stripped off. E2 5b for an unpadded ascent with the crux being the high foot move at the start with rh on a good crimp and lh on the arete with a high foot. Top crux a bit harder now but still 5a and scary

βeta: This was originally climbed direct all the way, with the 5b moves being at the start getting up onto the arete with some high feet, the top crux is solid 5a and scary
