4/1/20. You can see both of the broken plates above the hueco. There is now a small sloping edge where the lower plate used to be.

[Hide Comment] A key hold has broken(the second plate/flake from the hueco). It has a new edge, but it is lower, smaller, and the sidepull on it is no longer as good. This makes the problem significantly harder, probably especially for shorter people. I wasn't able to do it again. Even before the plate broke, it felt a bit tough for V1. Dec 7, 2009

[Hide Comment] I agree with the new rating of v2. I cannot do the problem with the same beta anymore. It is quite a bit harder. Nov 5, 2010

[Hide Comment] I was up there yesterday and found that the remaining sidepull plate is gone. A sloping 3-finger edge is now in its place. I used essentially the same beta as before although now it feels more awkward and is probably a touch harder. Still good fun though! Apr 2, 2020

[Hide Comment] Re-did this problem today 11/3/2020. I would definitely say it goes at v4 now. The crimp doesn’t make things easier since all the left hand plates blew off. Felt on par with Call Me and Take Five, which I both consider V4. Nov 4, 2020
