Hangover Arete

The most little cottonwood of little cottonwood boulders. Strong fingers on sloping crystals characterize the stone (as well as lots of LCC kitty litter, which detracts a star). Complex, subtle movement will get you to the top.

Of note, most of the boulder is safe and pleasant, except for the last couple of moves. If you miss those, you fall down into the lower pit, and the landing is uneven down there. You'll want as many pads as you can get.

Wasatch Resort, on the upcanyon, east side, before you get to Classic. Cut left past the Dean boulder when you enter WR, and work through a pleasant trail that is occasionally indistinct. After a few moments, you will run into a cluster of boulders on a hillside. Hangover is the arete in between the boulders, over a rounded boulder and a tight landing between the boulders. There is a big spiky fallen tree in the vicinity, but you don't land on it when you fall off this boulder.

Start standing, from down in the pit. Start with a sharp crimp for the left, and a right hand crimp/pinch for the right.

lots of carefully placed pads. 5 pads was good for me.
