Description

Begin with the same starting holds as "Trice", then shoot straight past the trice pocket to the sloping crimp just above with your right hand. This would normally be used with your left hand on "Trice". Then, pause with your left hand on the almost non-existent cluster slightly left and above your right hand, then bump to a slanted credit card edge directly above your left hand, then burst to the finish jug, and try to hold the swing.

This felt to me a little harder than "Trice" and needs a second ascent for conformation. Don't forget to not put your foot in the pocket on the topout, especially if you've got Trice dialed - it's tempting.

A spotter and a pad are nice.
