Light at the End of the Tunnel


Another new one at the Sad Boulders. It's the face above the jug that several problems in the Ice Caves finish on. It would be a perfect problem if there weren't boulders trying to attack you on the last move. Oh, and the landing kind of sucks. It's called Light at the End of the Tunnel and it's V8ish. Some crimpy moves lead up to the last move crux, a big deadpoint to the top with some potential for an ugly fall into the pit.

Charlie on the first few moves...

So if you do one of dem things in the ice cave to that jug, then do that boulder, does it equal V18? That's on par with 1-5-9 on the woodie.

That's the plan. Maybe not V18, but something like that.

you mean something like a non-integer e.g. V13.48/.381

I see.
