What problem is this exactly? It sounds like beached whale from your description or possibly the easier variant right of beached. I am unfamiliar with any problem named "corner lunge" on the Eliminator Boulder.

I got the problem's name from the Horsetooth Hang comp guidebook. It's right next to Beached Whale.

This really isn't much of a lunge...more like a reach around.
Plus it's more like VB+.

It's the variant of Beached Whale. The start is the same, but instead of throwing up to the dish for Whale, throw around the arete to the right for a nice hold. Then used the holds on the arete to topout.
