Description 

This warrants an actual description because it is a great old school problem! I recall starting with a hand on one crimp and making a (crux) dynamic move to establish on another. Maybe there is another way to start the problem on the large rail out left? I'm not sure. A few big, fun lockoff moves lead past a rail and on to better holds further and further above a rather dicey landing. I don't remember the topout being too perplexing, but it does involve a little slab at the very top. 'B1-' is probably a more appropriate grade, of course.

Location 

As per the Function boulder, this problem is on its south (or southeast?) face (not the one with a rivet ladder). I think there must be an easy downclimb on the back part because I don't recall any shenanigans.

Protection 

A few pads would be nice but falling from the top is probably not a good idea anyway.
