Atop the massive hill where both the Electric Ocean and Widowmakers can be found is a hidden gem of the Poudre. Perched on a small, 8 foot wall is this gorgeous boulder. Start with powerful compression on edges up the arete. Turn the bulge, and enjoy the balancy crimps to a wild last move. This is stuck in between being a route and a boulder problem, but with a hard upper section, bolts seemed like the best option.
