this is not a fa, it is called spread eagle.

please do not post unless you are certain it has not been done.

NOT ONLY IS THIS NOT A FA, YOU ARE STARTING A EXISTING BOULDER PROBLEM THAT IS RATED V2+ FROM ABOUT 4 MOVES IN.

PLEASE DO NOT POST UNLESS YOU HAVE CORRECT INFORMATION.

Sorry about the misinformation. I took down the FA. But I think I do this problem a bit differently than spread eagle, it's not supposed to be the same. Is spread Eagle a dyno problem? here watch this video, because I don't think they're the same routes. didn't mean to upset anyone.

I think it has been done that way (I know I have done it in a similar fashion). I think posting a eliminate or contrivance of a existing boulder problem could go on forever and is unnecessary. I climbed at taylor's for years and always wanted to do something new but the more I looked into it I realized people have been climbing there for years and basically had done everything (if you can find the Bounce and Swim guide you will see how far it goes).

I am currently working on a guide book for this area. I am planning to have it done this year.

okay, cool. Mountain Project won't let me delete the post I made, but I'm sure the admins can take it down if it's a problem. Let me know when you finish the guidebook, I'd love to get a copy!

This problem is an easier right exit of "Spread Eagle," and starts halfway through the problem. It would be probably V1.
