One move wonder on the right side of the boulder. Make a move to the lip while holding the swing. Start sitting on the rail as for Great Stone Face.

[Hide Comment] Short climber beta. Hand sequence not that different than taller climbers, but more of a foot sequence to get high enough to stick the dyno: youtu.be/14bFB-cz4XU Jan 7, 2021

[Hide Comment] No jump beta for the extra tall people who don't fit the undercling box (6'4). Felt like easy V5 this way. Sadly kind of ruins the point of this one, but still a cool move:
