The Coffee Cup

Pure, powerful, beautiful, The Coffee Cup is an elegant hard problem.

Begin on the lowest rail, and work through just three powerful moves on awesome sloping edges. Finish on jugs!

Grade seems to depend heavily on body shape. A broken hold between 2007 and 2018 made it easier than v10, and recent hold breakage in 2018 may have made this harder.

This is among the furthest climbs from the parking lot at Forestland. Hike through Lower Forestland, to Upper, past The Ruminator and Kobe Tai. Look for a sloping rail that can be reached from the ground, and a couple of crimps higher on the face.

Three or four pads, and a spotter so you don't have a brain-plosion when you miss the last move, and land slamming your head into the boulder behind the landing zone.
