Start at the good incut flake. Move up left to a crimp and match on this. Aim for the lip and launch up to it.

Very short, but a fun problem.

You can see where the start hold is no more in the middle left side of the picture. Happened some time between 10/1 - 10/8/09

Another move or so would add a star, but it's just so damn short!

This route is no longer v4. Haven't attempted it before, but after working it for fifteen minutes and feeling real weak, we noticed the massive start hold at the foot of the rock. We didn't send it as is, but I imagine it's somewhere around v6 now. Maybe harder. Hope the flake didn't land on anyone's foot when it blew.

Dang it! That was one of the top problems on my list for my trip next month, just because I knew that hold wasn't going to last too long.

Route post breakage still goes! I think it is a hard v5, since it is much more dynamic then the original v4. I dont think it deserves a v6 grade, but I could be wrong.
