Description

This problem starts from the left on Spit & Polish, which is on a slopey right hand hold and a left hand jug. Work your way right on underclings and kneebars if you've got a long shindex, then finish on Shine 'n' Glow with the final crux coming at the end.

If you're unable to kneebar through the hueco, I've heard people suggest V10. Hopefully more will repeat this excellent problem and contribute to a consensus.

Location

Start as for Spit & Polish, and finish on Shine 'n' Glow on the First Two Boulder (GPS coordinates 37.3541,-106.257652).

Protection

A slider and a large pad.

[Hide Comment] The kneebar(s) really help take some load off of the holds at the top of the hueco. The underclings as well as the right hand flake crimp all are hollow and all flexed during my ascent even while kneebarring. I could see some or all of these holds breaking someday especially if someone tries to send sans kneebars which would be a shame. I personally wouldn't be offended if someday I found some glue helping these holds stay on.... Apr 2, 2023
