Occasionally over the years I'd drive by a lake up in Bohuslan and see this impressive looking boulder just on the other side. I'd resisted the urge to check this boulder out because the landing has always been in the water and I've generally got a lot of other projects in the area. Well, this year when I drove by I noticed that the water level of the lake is way down and figured it was time to take a closer look at this boulder. What I discovered is a striking line up the middle of boulder that will be well worth the effort of building a landing should (when is more like it) the water rises to normal levels. All the holds are there and I'm psyched to head back to this amazing project.
The boulder and a visible water mark.
The line to do will climb the steep face then continue up to the left once reaching the "lip". I think a slightly easier escape can be done by rolling over on the slab but it will still be hard. We did a problem on the right arete that can have a sitstart added, at least until it is under water.
