Wimberry - the Fish

Perhaps the best boulder at Wimberry, some classic harder problems with a smattering of good mid grade problems. Over zealous brushing is becoming a problem here, ease off on Fish Arete and Dark Matter please.

the Fish

1. Coarse Traverse, sit start the arete on the left and follow it to the nose of the boulder where it is possible to mantle, 7a.
2. Dark Matter. From a sitting start on the hand rail, pull out to the poor slopers, and so to the top, 7b+.
3. Fish Dish. An excellent problem. Sitting start at the small flake/rib. Pull on and up to the 2 sloping dishes/crimps. From here a series of udges up the slopes will deposit you on the top, 6b+.
4. Fish Eye. Crimp/layaway on the face, to slopes on top, easy.
5. Hang the sloping shelf and mantel the lip, 6a.

the Fish

6. You're Joking. Crimps in the break, to the top, 7b.
7. Fish Groove. Good climbing. A crimp (if you can reach it) at the bottom of the flake allows you to rock on. From here a balancy series of layback moves lead to the top mantel, 6b+ (7b start to the Groove by starting in the horizontal seam).
8. Fish Arete. Superbly satisfying slappy climbing. Arete for your right, crimps and undercut for your left some times allows you to slap up the arete with your right to arrive at the top hold. Match, shuffle left and mantel. Quick, 6c+.
9. Fish Arete sit start. 7b.
10. Descent.
