Beta needed for Tiger Face at Rotary Park

Hey all,

I went over to try this today and it kicked my butt. I was assuming the rocks below the overhang are off so I avoided them. I got my left into the horizontal crack over on the left side of the edge that runs vertically through the middle of the face, and my right hand to the near-vertical crack of that edge (about a foot and a half above the horizontal crack). I got my feet onto the obvious, chalked holds right on the lip of the overhang, but I don't know where to go from there. All I know is that I'm hanging at the wrong angle for my right hand to do much, my left is locked of pretty low but is taking a lot of weight, and it seems like I need to use a dynamic move to get my left hand up to something(?) else pretty quickly. I probably need to do something different with my feet but that seems tricky as I'm 6'5" and can barely get them to where they're at on the lip. And maybe that horizontal crack hold I'm using with my left isn't even part of the problem. I really don't know.

Any beta at all would be helpful and appreciated.

Oh, layback to the left with the holds closer to the horizontal crack maybe? Work up from their?

Thanks Ryan, I'll keep working on it. I had to ask for beta because it sure doesn't feel like a V2 the way I'm doing it.

I'll see what I can find on YouTube.

Yeah, I was doing it right. It's just hard for me I guess. Good call on the YouTube thing mustardtiger.

Sort of takes the problem solving out of bouldering. I enjoy trying to figure out beta but when you have a deadline the internet is nice.

At this point, I'm still very much learning so if I'm having real issues with a problem, I don't mind asking. Plus at Rotary Park it's tricky to know what is and is not eliminated.

That thing is epic...
