Description This is a classic problem on a slightly overhanging face.
Sit-start with left hand in an undercling pocket, right hand on a small crimp pocket. Do a long powerful cross move to a bad, sloping crimp. Move your left hand to a very small/very sharp crimp. Next is a good right hand sloper followed by a decent crimp rail. From the rail, move to a tiny incut crimp and move to the top. It has an easy top-out.
Location This is on the boulder that faces away from the road.
Protection Pads.

| Could be V8 or V9. It seems about as hard or maybe harder than Worst Case Scenario at Joe's, But most people call that soft V9. It doesn't feel 2 grades easier than Beyond Life though, which has been called solid/hard V10.
More ascents should even it out.
EDIT: I went back and sent it again and got some more people on it. I feel pretty confident with V9. |
