This problem is pretty difficult for the grade compared to others of the same grade in the Ibex area. To complicate matters, after you hit the half-way point your landing/falling options are non-existent: i.e. don't fall! X-rated equivalant problem.

The problem starts on a left-facing sidepull that isn't very good. Feet position are critical to utilizing the sidepull. All the other holds are smaller and tougher to use compared to the start. Climb straight up the south face. There are decent top-out holds on this problem.

3. V4/5

1. V0

2. V1

This problem is located on the east face of the boulder. Start on a prominent, good edge on the white rock and climb up the face. Great jugs are located on the arete to the right, or make it more difficult (V1) and stick to the face.

Good top-out holds are a relief for those of us with the top-out jitters.

Delicate feet for the starting moves is probably the hardest section of this problem since the white rock down low is pretty friable.

The start hold is on a low jug. Climb up utilizing a left undercling and angle right into a small, broken dihedral with a good crack leading the way to the top.

The crux is probably moving into the dihedral, after that it's a fun couple moves to top out.
