Description

Stand start. Some call it contrived due to the start, but if you want to up your tech skills don't cheat yourself. If you do the problem from standing on the mud covered bedrock and claim the V4, you're only lying to yourself.

Begin with your left hand on a small crimp and your right hand on the impossible, slopey arete. Get your right foot up on the small edge on the flake that is above the mud covered bedrock. If you're true to yourself and your style you do the move static, if you lack bouldering ethics, you stand on the bedrock, and just reach up to the crimp or do a jump start and claim "soft". No don't do that, fight the hard barndoor, and reach up for the crimp with your left hand, match, and then go up a series of smaller and sharper crimps to the top.

Location

It ascends the far right arete. The bottom is always covered with mud .
