Description

Hypersex is likely my favorite problem I've sent at the Pool of Plenty. If it wasn't for a slight sand factor with the start holds, I would give this a classic rating.

Sit start with hands matched on the jug feature. From there, hit the seam on the shelf with a left, heel down, cross over with the right, swing (crux?, dab factor), campus traverse further left down the shelf, stick a left hand bump on the arete, make a big move to a right hand pinch (crux?), and top it out.

The problem shares the same start as A Bit of Eden and finishes up on Left Branch.

Location

This ascends the south face of Tree of Life.

Protection

A few pads should be enough. The landing is very good, but the problem traverses a fair amount of ground.
