[Hide Comment] In the Golden State Bouldering guide the low start to this is listed as a V8 "Unnamed Bulge" (it doesn't list a higher start). There are three holds on the right, the high undercling, then below that a decent hueco, then below that the obvious starting hueco that is awful and polished. My opinion is that starting at the lowest is probably where the V8 comes from, as the first bump up is really hard. Starting one move in (on the middle hueco) felt V7 to me, but seemed a lot better ignoring the awkward difficulty of the first mini bump. Starting in the high undercling jug (and probably left hand a bit higher as well) is around V3, which is what this MP page was originally for.

I found a beta break for the low start that probably makes it V5/6, but I don't think most people will have the leg length to do it properly that way, so I wouldn't suggest changing the grade of the low. The low start as one really hard but very satisfying compression slap and lots of good foot options.

V8 variation, but has the beta for the top version as well:
