Description

Hang off some big huecos at the start with the right side of your body against the rock on the right - it can't be helped - and then work up and left into them and then up to finish, or better yet, by heading slightly right and stemming up a concave patina groove to finish. Make sure to have some spotters ready as falling at the wrong spot on this wouldn't be good.

This is a decent problem with some fun moves and good rock but the contrived start detracts slightly from the overall experience. 

Location

Located on the right side of the south face, just right of an obvious hueco which is Dino's Egg and left of a block which is the other half of the Dino's Egg Boulder.

Protection

pad, spotters
