Bouldering on the Siren

Foster, Oregon

Description

Bouldering, which poses it's own unique challenges, as opposed to trad climbing and this is a 10' challenging and a new route. Rated a V5, but not as tech as you'd think.

This boulder is to the right of Garden Variety...if you know then you know.

An excellent problem with a lot of movement. Works up the stand alone prow near Garden Variety. Start low and heal out right on a good ledge. From there work up to the inverted V pinch and left to the arete. From there it is a long committing move to the slopers on the top.
