On the face of the Pimp boulder. Start on the obvious huge flake undercling low and right, straight up to crimps, surf left and up, top out on sweet sloper. Or something similar...

Brian let me know if you sent this. I think you were there earlier in the day than me, yesterday. EDIT--> OK I removed the video link then; we'll leave it a little more to the imagination plus the camera quality sucks (thanks for pointing that out John!).
I will check the video when I get home and can access it but based on the description I did not attempt this line at all...somewhat of an eliminate from what I remember.
Sorry we missed you, we left right around 2 pm. I would be psyched to finally run into anyone while I'm up there!

Too bad we missed each other. I got there at about 4:30, it was super nice out.
Yeah, I understand the eliminate aversion, it can get silly. My opinion is that if it's an "arete only" or "face only" climb (ie. not loaded with "this is off, that is off"), it makes it more palatable, esp. if the line is actually kind of fun.
