[Hide Comment] Pretty damn soft for V5 (so the book say), but I'll take it. Massage that ego, baby. Jan 8, 2013
[Hide Comment] It's pretty easy if you use the extra boulder below the problem's start as your feet (shown in current pic), but if you're only using the footholds on the problem's boulder itself, the route is pretty tough considering your only feet is a not so good heel and smearing under.

[Hide Comment] Was going to try this but doing it as a sit start feels like contrived nonsense. Apr 2, 2019

[Hide Comment] I'm going to have to agree with Dan on this one. Calling the pedestal boulder off that's way too obvious to not use just to make it a V5 kills the flow of the problem. With the pedestal boulder on, it makes for a very unique undercling layback start that's great for the V2 grade. Jan 6, 2020
