Ursa Major
Description
Start in a compression-like stance with your left hand underneath the lip on a slopey catch and your right hand on a good, sidepull sloper. Place your feet on good incuts on a boulder, or right heel hook match start with your right hand. From there, move up to good, left hand crimp, and get your right hand on a crimp above on gritty edge. Catch your right hand on top of an arete near the grit part, move both of your feet to where your right foot has been residing. Match with your left hand, and move your left hand into a gaston crimp. Swing your feet/left foot over to a left, good, gritty foot hold. Move up the arete on the middle of the rock, and top out.
If anyone wants to claim an FA for this, I'll be happy to change it! (I just haven't seen any chalk on it, so assumed it hasn't been sent yet.)
Location
Located on Bearhug Boulder, to the left of
Ursa Minor
and part the concave incut feature of the boulder, it is near the other boulder that sits right behind the route. It appears that one could hit the rock with their back if they fell, but every time I sent it and fell, I didn't come close to decking the rock (therefore there's no PG-13 rating, I am up for the suggestion though).
Protection
Pads and a spotter.
