Cool pics, but SMTK goes farther left than that - up the small seam to the left. That hold is most definitely off. Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but...

Or you can just not worry about what's on or off and dyno from the start to the jug, way fun.

Huh, ok. I've used that right hand but not that right foot. Each time I've been there there's been chalk on that right hand. Oh well.

Yeah, I have climbed this variation a couple times, it is fun, but not SMTK. I'm not even sure you can get to this hold from SMTK(aside from moving right at the very start), so perhaps saying this hold is off is incorrect, this is really a different problem. SMTK uses some bad holds in the seam directly above the start and then moves up and right to the jug. This variation is fun though, but I found it a fair bit easier.

Damn DL eliminates. Sweet though, a new route (with a very short approach) for me to try! Heh.

As always, thanks for the beta Jason.

Jason's beta is right on. The problem shown in the picture has been called "show me mercy" at V1 and is a completely different and easier problem. Both are fun but SMTK is a few grades harder at V4.
