A super-technical problem testing balance and flexibility. Establish easily enough on good sidepulls and a good foot rail, then balance up on more sidepulls to a slopey gaston feature in the small roof. Work into a difficult wide stem between insecure feet and reach over the lip to a good edge, then top out on okay holds. This thing is way harder than it looks.
Location
On the right side of the large warmup boulder split by a deep offwidth (a couple minutes past the first humongous boulder you reach.)
This really is a tough one to grade. I've seen some moderate climbers practically cruise it, and I know some super strong climbers who throw frustrated shoe-chucking rampages over it. I agree with Tavis though, the grade doesn't matter, this problem is awesome.
