Description
Good problem on good rock. Traverses right to left with a reach dependent crux to obtain the flat "cigarette" edge at chest height. Has been called v7 by those over six feet, and v11 by those under 5"4'. Either way, its a woods classic.
Starting at the cigarette hold and finishing is probably the best v6 at the woods.

[Hide Photo] Tim Kemple on the FA, which was the V10 way of doing this (no slug hold) the left hand in this pic has broken and is now a very small crimp...
[Hide Comment] What's the generally accepted start? The knob on the right with the pedestal boulder below for feet? The sloping ramp for hands with the big ledges for feet? Anything goes?

[Hide Comment] This problem starts sitting with your right hand on the jug to the right of where the climber starts in this video and your feet on the good footholds to the left...
