Description
This is not actually located on Nook's Rock but on one right beside it. You can climb the arete from the left to the top for a V1 problem, or start from a sit down and climb straight up with a long throw on really chalked holds just below the lip and then top out V4. Either way a nice warm up set, as most of the problems at Nook's Rock.

[Hide Comment] This seems like it's not posted properly. There are two distinct problems on this boulder and they should be listed as individual routes: That Flakes It (V1) and That Flakes it Overhang (V4). It's a bit misleading to have two completely different problems posted together as a V-question.

THAT FLAKES IT OVERHANG 1. That Flakes It V1 sds ... FA: Unknown From a sds around on the far left, hand traverse up and right up large holds to the corner, then pull over. 2. That Flakes It Direct V4 ... FA: Rob Candelaria, 1974/5 Start on good holds under the overhang. Keep your feet off the right wall as you do powerful moves out the overhanging face. A sds looks possible. 3. That Flakes It Super Direct V? sds ... FA: Dan Smith and Dan Howley, late 1990's A sit start to #2 that begins on a thin LH hold and microcrimp for the RH. Move up and slightly right into the start for #2.

[Hide Comment] The grade is definitely down a notch or two since the left starting hold became a jug. Disappointing but not surprising to see this happen, though somehow the problem survived 20+ years without breaking.

[Hide Comment] Does anyone short have beta to share on where to put left foot and then left hand after getting the first big right throw? I'm 5'1", and it takes me 3 extra hand/foot moves on the right wall just to get up to the starting holds... existing beta videos by tall dudes are not helpful! (2 pics posted for context... borrowed screenshots from Sasha Oncley's clip on youtube :D).

[Hide Comment] Showed up yesterday, and the starting jug was sitting beside the boulder. That makes it a tad harder, maybe now it's a little closer to a Flagstaff V4; however, I am claiming the new FA and am renaming this to "That Johns It". I would wish for everybody to respect this.

[Hide Comment] There's no need to replace the broken hold, and in its current state, the problem is closer to V2 given the size of the starting hold even with the most recent break. Gluing/artificial holds/chipping anywhere on Flagstaff is against OSMP regulations and given the friable nature of the rock, doomed to failure. If something breaks, it breaks, though staying away after a lot of snow or rain is a great idea.

[Hide Comment] If you use a left heel hook, this has to be closer to V2 or maaaaybe V3? Fun problem either way. If you use the wall on the right at all, I'd say maybe V1 /V2.

[Hide Comment] The V1 uses the wall to the right but stays left of the large crack in the wall. The overhang can be stand-started on the chest high holds while keeping your feet on the overhanging face, or sit started with a foot on the wall to the right (just be sure to only use only the overhang for your feet once you get to the stand-start). The overhang goes at about V3.

[Hide Comment] Fun warm-up, but I am not seeing V4! Consideration feels well...considerably harder than this. Not sure if I used some forbidden holds, but it felt like V2+ maybe.
