Description 

This problem apparently begins standing, but may be done from a sitstart from the right for added difficulty. A small edges around head level exist for the hands. Hike your feet up to something and slap the pitiful slopers above. Somehow get your weight on your feet, if possible, and crank upwards. After the slopers, there are essentially no holds for quite a ways. This is powerful and balancy series of moves...kind of an ungradable problem I think. But it's very hard and requires strong tendons.


Location 

The left side of the Font boulder (a very wide and sloping mini-cliff with quite a few lines) just above Chuckie's Torture and Jugs.

Strange beast. Balancy, long reaches on bad holds. I really dig it... and would really like to send!
