Indian Rock Video Project
There are a number of problems, on the low wall to the left
of the drinking fountain (See Map 1.) that
use only a single handhold before reaching the top. The
most classic are the Finger Mantle Problem (see problem 05 Finger
Mantle) and this one that I refer to as the Original One Handhold
Problem. Start by placing both hands on the good hold at
about mid-height, somewhat left of the bulge. Walk your
feet up on small holds (all big footholds are off-route) until
you can balance and reach the top with both hands, without using
any intermediate holds. For the stylish finish, let go of
the handhold and reach the top with both hands simultaneously
(as shown in the video).
This problem can be done one-handed, either left or right, as
harder variations. Just be sure to use the same hand to grab the
top as you used on the handhold!
