Skidmark

Description

This climb is actually really good if you can ignore some of the sandiness.  The rock definitely leaves a little bit to be desired.  However, the moves are fantastic and this one should not be missed.

Start sitting with two good crimps, move to the jug side-pull (that i'm assuming has gotten bigger), making a big move to slopers at the lip.  It looks like people are trying to take the easy way out moving way right to top out but don't cheat yourself by bailing too far out right.  Apparently there is some super, secret heelhook beta but I didn't see it.

Originally rated v11, this climb has obviously broken a few times and gotten easier.  The bro's on braha.nu are still taking v9 but I'm not sure how they sleep... I bet this climb is easier if you're tall and will probably continue to change as holds break.  Please don't climb this when it's wet, it's a sandy muthafucker,

Location

Skidmark is located across the street from the UMWA boulder and faces away from the road.

From UMWA walk straight across the street and about 150 yards up the hill.  From the road you'll see the first clump of goodsize of boulders, Skidmark is on the tallest facing away from the road.  It's also just up and left of Crescent Moon if you're looking straight at that - backside.
