Start low on a good horn, and you can either work your way straight out left to a very good undercling, or work a shallow crimp straight up. Work your way up the obvious holds along the left rock seam to some crimps above and topout left.

[Hide Comment] super cool problem. pretty rare to find a problem at this grade that is so visually striking. None of the descriptions ive read say that any holds are off. from the crimp and pocket midway through the face, I went out left, heeled with my left foot around the corner, then went straight up to top out. not sure if anything is off, but if so, that might be nice to have in the description. still think it is V4, even with those holds.

[Hide Comment] The first under-cling that you move your left hand to is the GREATEST hold I've ever touched in my life. There's a perfect slot for your left index finger that makes it super secure and feels amazing. Definitely don't spend 15 attempts on "Bumboy" before attempting "Uniball"... Keep your feet and it'll go! Oct 14, 2019
