    This is the first problem in the First Creek Peak area. It's actually called ''October Surprise" because I found it and the other problems in the area on Oct. 7, the day the Trump tape story broke. The opening moves are pretty cool, but it lets up as soon as you get your feet on the slab. The beta I used was unique--will be interested to see if others do it differently. Grade is a suggested V4/5/6. The landing area might be under a foot or more of water during part of the season, or at least after a lot of rain. About 5 minutes before I sent it, a pretty large bighorn casually walked up the trail, then hopped up to the top of the boulder and back down to get around me.
