According to the guidebook- "Stand start with your left hand in a hidden undercling and right on a crimper. Throw to the hanging flake..." Both of these holds are more like crimp sidepulls and fairly obvious. It all seems simple enough- grab the starting holds, pull off the ground and either throw for the flake or use a hard to hit intermediate (gaston or sidepull, depending on your beta) with your right hand. Once you've secured the flake, heroically lay it back to the top. However, the starting holds aren't very good (maybe even broken?) and it all seems quite hard for the grade.

Monkey Butt

Start low on the arete with your left hand on a good crimp. Climb along the arete on positive holds to the high point and top out. The guidebook calls this V3 but I thought it felt easier, especially compared to Pac Man.

A fun, overhanging face sitting above a usually muddy area that is often a stream bed.
