Indian Rock Video Project
This is another classic in the section of rock to the right of the chimney in The Pit known as the Watercourse (See Map 1.) There are many problems of varying difficulty up the center of The Watercourse. This is one of the easiest.
Start with your left hand on the good hold on the face to the
left, the same hold used for a right handhold for the start of
Far Left Watercourse. Step up to the low ledge on the right and
step fairly high on the left to biggest hold on the left. Put
your right palm on any of a couple of holds on the face to right,
and with a straight right elbow, press up (as shown in the video),
floating the right leg. Reach up with the left to a sharp edge
on the face above known as the Smile for its crescent shape, though
nowadays it is more of a cracked smile. Stem out with your right
foot to any small edge on the face and match hands on the Smile.
Step up and with your left hand grab the Bun, the rounded hump
on the left (move not shown, but the chalked hold is visible in
the video). Easier moves lead to the circular bucket and descent
left to the chimney.
