Description 

Superb line of crimps on the S arete. Sit start on the corner (starting on the crimps left of or directly on the corner are about the same difficulty). Fire the line of crimps directly above including a big throw to a shelfy jug on the arete. Top out from here (up or directly right and up both go). Be sure to cover the small rocks quite a ways back from the wall since flying climbers come a long way out when they miss the throw.


Protection 

Pads for small rocks below landing, spotters a plus also.

Very fun problem. It is a little high ball so you can't be a nuss to do this problem. You have to have a lot of crimp power to pull it off.

what's a "nuss"? Just want to make sure I'm not one before I try this problem.

What a GREAT problem!! a must do!! .........if ya come off expect to be way back from the rock..........pad the obvious rock on the ground...........not sure if it is V6 maybe V5, but you can decide that...

The right hand arrow looking crimp a couple of moves off the ground broke off, any thought on whether this makes it harder or not?

As of last weekend, the ankle-breaker/enema rock at the base has been removed. Dunno who did it. Also dunno whether to thank them or not. It always made the topout a little more spicy knowing it was there.

A bit soft for V6 not harder than Sloper Chief and Kauna Roof, a bit closer to V6 if you stay on the crimps on the left hand face.
