Only to make things hard and VERY balanced, go no hands on the top. You'll find some under-cling game and a wee bit of smearing. Just go for it and you'll do it!

Midnight Mountainlion

The Thanksgiving Mountainlion

This is the same as midnight mountain lion, however, I added a solid three moves from a seated position that makes this boulder a fair bit harder. There is a very small toe ledge for your left foot, and a solid ledge just to the right for your right foot. You start with your right hand on the starting right foot position on midnight mountain lion, and your left on an okay hold just to the left. You want to get your left hand where your right hand starts on midnight mountain lion, to do so, I had to crimp the hold above the left hand start, if you can dyno straight over, that's impressive.

Adding these moves makes this boulder much harder than midnight mountain lion, v5 might be a more accurate grading, however, the starting moves are harder than any v5 I have done.

Use the top for handholds and get some footwork in! You can dance laps on this boulder from right to left and visa-versa

This route is WONDERFUL! From the double hand start, high and far right foot, a reaching right hand, to a balancy next few moves. This route is the start to some fun bouldering.

This route gets its name after the first send, which was at night, I walked up upon a mountain lion as I headed back to the car. AKA if you are bouldering after dark, bring a headlamp and probably another person, otherwise it could be a little sketch!
