Description

At first glance this seems like a slabby V-B but take a closer look and try the proper sit start, as most boulder should be done if possible, and you will find the problem to be a bit harder than perceived.  The crux of the problem is moving up to a single pad side pull crimp and bringing your feet out and around from under the sit start and onto the face.  After that it is done.  Almost a one move wonder.  Flexibility may bring this down a few grades.  I at first thought it to be V6 but then after a few sessions, sent it pretty quick and it felt more like a V3. 

Location

There is a nice nub for your left foot under the overhanging section and a nub further back in for your right foot.  You start sitting down with both hands on smaller obvious holds near the base of the face.
