The Tusk
v11★★★
Start as Elephants of Hunger but, climb out and rightward through good holds to a heartbreaking dead point. Wrap it up with a strenuous sloper topout. Full package! Starting as Diamonds in the Rough and climbing to the last jug and continuing back under the roof on compression on the slope arete and supple holds under the belly. Modern day movement masterpiece, wheel style bouldering.
