Feed the Need 1 / 5
  • V2ish. This problem is found in a north-facing cave/pit ~50m north of the Feed the Need boulder. Sit-start in cave, right-hand on good part of rail below lip, left hand anywhere lower. Move up and left to a good edge, then reach right to good hold around corner. Top out straight up.
  • V6/7. Sit-start as per "No Stone Unturned". Once you reach the good edges above the lip of the cave, move up and left to a hard-to-see crimp. A tricky high-step unlocks the reach to better holds and an easy topout.

  • Start matched on waist-height rail. Climb right, to holds around the arete. Continue right, to top out in the gap between boulders. (FA Trent Hoover, 2013)
  • V4. Stand-start matched on large sloping rail. Move left to a good sidepull/edge, then up and right to lip. (FA Evan Erickson, 2014)
  • Start using giant notch-sloper on the arete (blocked in picture by small boulder in foreground) and/or large, sloping edge in the middle of the face right of that. Move up to the lip, traverse right to the hanging prow, and follow the prow up and right to top out. (FA Kyle Marco, 2014)
  • Climb "Feed the Need", but instead of topping-out the prow, continue traversing right, to the peak of the sloping lip. Around 20 moves total, and very sustained (if not progressively harder). Pumpy 5.12+ might be a more accurate assessment.
  • V6. Sit-start using incut right-hand sidepull, and move straight up into "Feed the Need". (FA Evan Erickson, 2014)
  • Sit-start matched on good, incut mini-jug. Reach up to a fat pinch/sidepull, then pull to the lip. A tricky mantle awaits. (FA Trent Hoover, 2013)
  • Start with right-hand pinch on arete, left-hand sloping sidepull. Climb the left side of the arete. (FA Trent Hoover, 2013)

  • V8ish. Stand-start with left-hand high on arete, and right-hand anywhere lower. Move up right to sharp crack, then continue right to finish on Bananarama.
  • V4. Stand-start matched on large sloping rail. Move left to a good sidepull/edge, then up and right to lip. (FA Evan Erickson, 2014)
  • V6/7. Sit-start matched on huge sloper-notch on corner. A couple of tough moves get you into the stand-start.
  • V9ish. Sit-start matched on large sloper-edge in middle of overhang. Traverse low and left, through the huge sloper notch, to get into the start of Bananarama, and finish by doing that problem. Tensiony and powerful.

  • Starts in a large flat-bottomed pit on the backside of the Feed the Need Boulder (to the left of Bananarama). Sit-start with right on a low, sloping, horizontal rail, and left on the blackened end of the opposing sloping rail in the overhang. Compression moves on slopers lead to a long move to a good edge. From here, it's a long way up on really good edges to the top of the boulder (15 or 16 feet?). Great holds, great movement, great resistance climbing on slopers. (FA Trent Hoover, 2014)
