Riddle of the Missing Hold

FA unknown

Description

As the OP points out, no one comes here to boulder.  Totally agree.  But it can be a nice compliment to a day of frazzled nerves at the main crags.  Here's a quick diversion before the last uphill slog on the way back to camp.

The problem climbs an attractive left-leaning intrusion.  A good hold teases you from 10' up, but how to reach it?  Pull off the ground statically, float past the "missing" hold, and on to the top.

Obviously some of the world's best climbers have walked by here and someone could have done this before.  On the other hand, it's somewhat hidden and.... no one comes here to boulder.  If you know of an existing name or FA, let me know and I'll update.

Location

The first main notch, where the hiking trail descends steeply and then begins switchbacking up to the lookout.  In a cluster of boulders 25 yards south of the trail, close to the base of the switchbacks.
