Lonesome Animals

Some people say this is the best hard problem in Joe’s Valley, and it’s definitely one of the best V12s anywhere...

Begin sitting at the bottom of the beautiful scoop feature, on opposing incut crimps. Make technical and awesome compression moves up the scoop/dihedral, using poor sidepulls and worse feet. At the top of the scoop, execute a huge and low percentage move to a good edge. Keep it together through blind heel hooking and small crimps to an easier top out over the sweet log landing.

On Lonesome Animals boulder, the most obvious line on the upper left side of the wall. It’s also one boulder down from Last Great One. Climb the scoop feature to a perfect JV finish.

3 pads should do it. The log landing is nice but really only protects the very end of the problem.
