[Hide Comment] This is a fun problem but so many options for holds makes it unclear what’s on and not: youtube.com/shorts/e5DZvzZJ…

I topped out a bit farther left than Elijah (but skipped his heel hook), but not sure if that really does much to impact the grade. Sep 18, 2022

[Hide Comment] The start of TBM breaking off has altered the second half of this problem. There’s fewer options for hands and feet, but for me the easiest path is still available. Still feels V2-V3 for me. Jul 26, 2023
