Description 

This problem is the boulder's namesake, and one of Baldy's all-time classics. It climbs the gently overhanging black face on the north side of the boulder, requiring tenacity and intricate footwork more than brute strength. Start standing with your left hand high on a good edge and your right hand about waist high on a good edge. High step your right foot and head up. I don't want to give too much away, half the fun of this problem is figuring out the correct sequence. Dave was alone during the first ascent, hence the name, which translates to "Alone with God".

Nearing the top. Probably not the best beta, but I hadn't watched Friction Addiction or the youtube vid of this problem at this point, and hey, if bad beta gets you to the top who cares? The top dish was soaking wet but so deep it didn't matter. May 09.

Five stars. Second best problem at Baldy. Settling in at V7. One of my fondest climbing moments was the FA of this. Still love climbing it.

A small comment:The proper name should be 'Seul avec Dieu';(dieux, with an 'x', is 'gods', not 'god')

Sincerely,Sam "French Nazi" French.

Interesting start + crimps + slopers + power + balance + flat landing = PERFECT PROBLEM!

Agree with V7.
