Jeffy past the crux on Turnbuckle (V1), JTNP.


Description 

This fun and somwhat unique problem is found on the west face of the boulder just left of center.

Start with both hands in a high undercling/lieback flake - shorter people will be at a disadvantage here - and smeared feet to work into the undercling, make a reach over the lip for a grainy flake and finish with an easy mantle. An easy descent is found on the opposite (east) side of the boulder.

Rated V3 in the JT Bouldering guide, but this problem seems much easier than that and doesn't compare to similarly rated problems.
