Description

Same Jug Undercling start as "The Topus" (arete) but climb left and crimp your way up the black, vertical face following a seam up and right. Top out using insecure slopers and wrong-facing holds. Listed as a V5 in the Black Bible but definitely a step up in difficulty from The Topus. Prevent ankle breakage using several pads on and around the embedded rock.
