Description 

The Anti-Chemist climbs the steep bulge between Sit Down And Be Counted and The Pugilist. Start with your right hand on a good side pull (directly above the left hand start hold for The Pugilist) and left hand around the bulge on a bad, vertical pinky slot/four finger sidepull. Do a big move with your left hand to a sloper then do another big move back right to an edge (the edge you grab on The Pugilist (with you left hand) from the undercling). From here do a few hard bump moves using a really small edge, a three finger crimp and a horrible quartz ball right below the lip. The last move is the most exciting and involves a blind slap over the lip to a hidden jug. The slopey nature of this problem definitely makes it feel like a solid V8 in mid-summer
