So named because you probably need a little bit of the Hydrogen Psychosis to actually want to do this problem, the H.P. project is one of the more painful problems I've come across in SB (the only other problem that compares is the Static Eliminator sit but this guy feels much worse). Hydrogen Psychosis glory is guarded by two of the thinnest crimps in S.B. that'll eat through your fingers so fast you'll think you were out at the Buttermilks. Only time will tell if those crimps will survive but at the moment they seem pretty solid (definitely be careful about not climbing this one after rain though).

Crux comes right off the bat in three really difficult moves to get established on the "Eye-Socket" hole and razor gaston. From here do a couple easier but balancy moves through the sloper to gain a good edge before busting a cool sequence out right over the tree through good edges with marginal feet to eventually meet up with Deep Search. Good luck!

This line is a real Gem that we uncovered out here. Start with some steeper moves on good edges (physical crux) to a reachy crux to gain the slopey top of the first bulge. Maintain composure for a last balancy move over the "mini roof" and top out on good holds.

The sister problem to Deep Search, Jacquelene merely touts a different start but adds a significant bump in difficulty. Sit start low and left on a black flat edge and trend up and right through good edges to eventually meet up with Deep Search to top out. A beautiful climb!

Crux is probably the first move off the jug getting established on the good lie-back flake. Follow the flake till it peters out then head up and left via the submarine flake and good edges till you hit the jugs and top out via Deep Search.

This problem should go straight up eventually but I haven't put in the time to clean the upper half yet.

Crux comes early in figuring out how to move up via some small but good edges with high feet. Topout if you dare (it's easy, don't worry) at the offwidth crack (don't worry, there are good holds in there). The climbing is somewhat similar in style to Mister Witty and All Mod Cons with a similar thrilling slab to finish.

Traverse right on good holds and sharp pockets through the "cavity" to a very distinct crux move off a small edge just after exiting the cavity. Keep heading right (yes, over the tree) through engaging cool moves on edges with poor feet to one last tough move to a good pocket to reach the top-out of Deep Search.
