Description 

Start with a bomber hand jam and then use the rail inside the crack on the right side and then the horizontal crack on the left boulder to get through the middle wider section. If you jam your feet right, you should be able to access bomber hand jams again up high before exiting up on the left boulder.


Location 

Climb the crack between Contrivance and Squirming Coil.


Protection 

A pad.

I realized, after getting shut down on this problem twice, that V1 might be a sandbag. Really cool problem though, you should check it out.

Has anyone else done this problem with the right boulder completely off (i.e. no jamming)? It's pretty fun to just climb the sloping arete using the cracks, hidden side-pulls and rails to a mantle topout. Probably still V1 or V2.
