[Hide Comment] This is an existing climb that is detailed in the black Utah Bouldering Guidebook (and maybe the white Utah Bouldering guidebook?). I don't have those books in front of me at the moment so I can't tell you the name, but if I remember correctly, the grade given in those books for this line/variation is closer to v4. Nov 22, 2021
