Knee-Jerk Reaction

Description

This problem is immediately upon entering into the Rock Maze on a small boulder along the path. Start on a small shelf matching both hands. Feet are underneath smearing on little edges. Move directly up, disregarding the crap below on the right. Keep your body over the line and do a series of matches to a weird hold up top. The "crux" move is rocking-up on a toe hook at waist height or higher.

Protecting this is a little strange, but can be done easily enough; spotter is nice to have.

Protection

Bouldering pad and a spotter.
