Description
Very clear compression line on an unattached boulder just to the right of Darkside/Vaino. Obvious hands and feet all the way up. Technical footwork/commitment required up top.
Location
On the obvious giant boulder with the huge crack down the middle. If you're walking the trail South from Turlock area you can see it from the trail on the left. Johnson/Vaino/Darkside are all on the opposite side of the boulder that you can see from the trail. You get to them by either scrambling over some boulders directly left of the giant crack or by walking south on the trail just a bit past Powerglide and then taking a faint trail left off the main trail and around to the Johnson Arete area.
