Not the greatest problem.
There is an eliminate version that heads left to join Slap Happy (eliminating the crack / jug above the bulge on Slap Happy and the good holds on the arete after the start of Impulse Control) called Control Technique that's actually more fun. I guess that was considered V6. Aug 11, 2013
