Great problem first put up by Slippery Paul and he named it "Slippery Seam".

Thanks for the correction. A really deceivingly hard problem for me.

I went up to this area Monday and the reach to the horizontal holds seems to be getting longer each year. Great problem! Always a good feeling to send it.

That's kind of what it seemed like for me. I remember being able to get in a good position to reach the horizontal but last fall it seemed exceptionally far away...

Really an easy V4 - I was stoked to send it, then I showed EZ who promptly onsighted it in his tennis shoes

After finally repeating this one again after not being able to do so for some time I'm inclined to agree with Paul. Not too bad if you can get in the right position. Would be more fun if the top would clean up a bit.

Man, tough one, do you guys go up to the seam with your right or left hand?

I've always gone right hand
