Romano Alternate

This problem was first eyed by Rich Romano on a visit in 2009. This problem begins on the Inchworm boulder below the Inchworm Traverse. Where the Rock Buttress comes out from the ground there is a section of rock. Begin this problem with your hands on the large flat holds and your feet on two smudges. Reach with the left hand out and up onto the roof of the Inchworm Boulder. There is a flake here to use as a layback with the left. Lean out using the left and reach with the right to a sloping edge. Pinch it and reach out over the roof to slopers. Match above the roof and then move right two small moves on better holds. Keeping your feet on holds below the roof (the boulder below the Inchworm if you can). After the two small moves your hands should be in a shallow left facing corner. Gather your feet below you and lunge up and slightly right to a two inch flat edge. You have now joined the Inchworm Traverse. Continue as with the Traverse to the end.
