In the Beta photo, it looks like Mr Schuler is on Metaphysical, not Crystal Balls (at least based on the descriptions of Metaphysical and Crystal Balls). Am I completely off? If you look down and to the right of Glenn, there is a large, ~4in crack that angles up right. If you take this crack for 50ft and then the second crack on the left, you can make your way up to chains. We thought that climb was Crystal Balls, although it seemed easier than 9+.

Yo, Dan, you got it right - Metaphysical has the two bolts on the lower section, starts in the wide crack for a couple moves, and breaks off left & up. Tell Phil to fix that shit :)
