| Wheel of Life Direct | Boulder problem | 8C | 2 |
This climb was originally suggested as 8C+ when Wheel of Life was considered to be that difficult as well, however, it is only a slight variation to Wheel of Life. Both boulders are the same for the first 60 moves and only differ at the very end where Wheel of Life finishes out Rave Heart (7B+) whereas the direct finishes on Amniotic World (7C) |
