Knuckle Fucker

This is an uninviting problem with an uninviting name to match.

Start standing with both hands in the high undercling.  Paste your feet on the wall with difficulty and fire up and left to a good hold.  Then stand up on an underwhelming foothold and top out.  (I went right.)  The topout might be a little dirty and scary.

There were two obvious cheater stones below the problem when I climbed it.  Since the difficulty of this problem revolves around one move using a high undercling and pasting your feet high on the wall, it’s a substantial advantage to start higher and use the stones (or stack pads).  I felt this was at the high end of Yosemite V4, but YMMV.

I assume the problem gets its name because it’s possible to finger lock in the undercling, and it’s possible to dry fire out of the finger lock.
