This is one of my favorite problems at Carter, reminiscent more of the steep, crimpy lines at Hueco Tanks than most Dakota fare.

It can be ass-started for the full V5 grade, or done from a stand-up at V4.

Begin low and left of the crack line in the center of the wall, sit-starting on incut slots/crimps. Pimp up tinies for a move or two, slap left to the arete, then power up for better holds, including a fractured-looking but seemingly bomber flake. Mantel over to finish, watching for loose rocks over the lip.

Regular Route [Mighty Wall]

West Corner

"Starts in an undercling hueco four feet right of the seam. Climbs small, hard to see edges" (Colorado Bouldering, 48).

According to Benningfield's guide, this problem is a 4, which I believe feels more like a 3. Possibly harder for shorter people. It is a fun problem nonetheless.

Ascends small pockets and edges on the right side of Mighty Wall, as seen in the picture.  Delicate thin moves in the beginning lead to a steeper but solid top out that, like it's neighbor, one doesn't want to fall off of.  Similar in grade to the somewhat thuggish West Corner, but a more delicate, technical line.

In the middle of the rock at the base is a tiny cave-like something.  Start there, traverse a a little right, and generally follow the crack up.
