Description 

Sit start on shallow underclings. Pop out left to edge and cross feet. High heel with left hand in super-shallow dish. Super-thin crimp with the right hand. Pull hard and deadpoint to sloping topout holds.
Location of your heel will make this climb V6 for some and V-impossible for others. Accuracy of your heel placement is paramount.

As an alternative for 6ft+ climbers, It is possible to make a big move from the right undercling and left flake all the way to the top.


Location 

Just right of Up and on bulging low-ball boulder.

It does. But it is harder than all the other V5s I've done or tried.

i was introduced to this route soon after its first ascent and i was told it was V7... i onsigthed it and as far as i know i came up with the heel hook beta, i sugested V5 but im pretty tall so that might explain it... until then it was all wicked strong dudes who had done it and using techneque had never occured to them they just went straight up without the heel hence, V7... ok im done with my story... good night...
