Description
This problem tests if you are a strong and lucky climber. The summer days are usually too humid to climb this problem. It is also wet in the winter months. It looks easy, but it’s not. Sit start (or squat if you can not reach) with your left hand on a triangle-shaped hold and your right hand on a hardcore sloper. Pull on, and make a move up to either a marginal crimp to the left or a crimp undercling to the right. Grab the jug, and complete the easy topout.When Jackie made the first ascent she climbed it twice. She wanted to rate it V4. I’m not entirely convinced it’s a V4+. I think it’s harder.
Location
Climb the sit start to Sparkling Shoes, V1.
Protection
A pad.
