How hard is the "non-eliminate" Bates Problem? Going up and left to the jug instead of making the move up and right?

Dude...That Sloping crimper is such a pile. I suggest tape and a cold day to do this problem. Feet are VERY small little chips. If you can hold yourself on the wall long enough you might be able to make a quick move to lip. I believe the eliminate goes at V6. Not a fun problem, but that is probably cause I can't do it.

.... sour grapes....
old school classic. non eliminate goes one move right to the angled crimp, then left hand to the lip arete.
hard. cool temps help.
