Description

This is a pretty good and seemingly overlooked problem in the Curry boulders.  

Stand start with two good, right-facing sidepulls (the higher of which is incut and about head-height) and make difficult moves to poor holds at the lip of the boulder.  Pull the lip and execute a fairly easy (but still droppable!) mantel to gain big holds near the top.  

The SuperTopo guidebook gives this problem V4.  I felt it was a touch harder than most other V4s in Yosemite, though YMMV.

Location

When facing the New Deli boulder from the parking lot / housing units, it's on the far side.  (It's on the opposite side of the very obvious streak of New Deli Line.)   

Protection

Pads.
