Description Suggest change

Classic! This is a very long boulder problem that starts by making a delicate and balancy traverse out left from the corner. Traverse to the obvious  'thank god jug', using a few key hidden underclings and sidepulls to keep this section relatively mellow at v4ish.  After a good shake, the climb turns vertical and changes character following an obvious line of slopely crimps with good feet. Each move is probably no harder than v4ish, but the pump really adds up to the redpoint v6 crux. Top out on the balcony.

Note: This route is quite high, so even though the landing is very flat, a fall from the top could be quite painful and dangerous. While we don't know the exact height, it's probably close to 20-25ft with the crux coming close to the top. This route was the FA's (MS) long standing project at HC. It took them 2 years, due both to the physical and mental challenge. It was finally sent in 2018 with three spotters and four pads.
