Polishing the Turd

Polishing the Turd follows the crack line that goes around the Horses Ass Boulder (in other words, the ass crack). Begin on matched cup jams and start moving up the slowly widening crack that thins to fingers around the top out section. A great grunt fest that will put your jam skills and body positioning to the test! Polishing the Turd is actually a metaphor, I am the turd that needed polished and that crack line was the one to polish me. This climb is hard grade due to questionable power levels on the day of the send.

Horses Ass boulder is usually passed on an animal trail as you head to HHH from the souther approach from HWY 49. As you head up the SE slope of HHH up to Spite Your Face wall or Desperate Imagination, you will likely pass a large boulder with an overhanging roof crack that faces south. If you look at it long enough it resembles equine buttocks.34.745920, -98.543808
