Calm like a Bomb 

I think the right hand variation is more like V3.

It was definatly pretty cold yesterday. And I'd have to agree that the right hand side is more V3. Also, did you put up that photo of my bloody hand, or could you shoot me an e-mail with it. It'd be pretty fun to show it to some people at school.

I have been informed that this problem goes easier with a left leg-stuff/calf-hook. I found this problem incredibly desperate, but I did not use the leg stuff. Perhaps the beta on this has "evolved." At any rate, Calm climbs the red line in the photo. To my knowledge, the blue line has not been climbed.

Mike- I'm I'll put the picture up right now. I'll put it up under Harappan Civilization though.
Jay- When I do this route I'm to short to be able to use the foot- jam. But, I would agree that with it, it makes it easier. On the other note, the blue line has been done before. Some people who I know have done it (and seen it) are Adam Glass and Mike Taylor. I have just started working this variation and it is much harder then the right.

Does anyone know the name/grade of the blue line?

Thx for the picture Pete,

I also agree that the huge foot move is somewhat cheap and makes that part of the route quite a bit easier. I don't know about the blue line but I have no doubt that Adam would have sent that.

Upon further review this is definitely V4...

A little dyno skips the crimps. A very fun V3

the blue line is definitely the harder of the two lines. v4 if the red is v3. there is a high right hand pinch that allows a big reach around the bulge. the blue line is a more sustained problem and lots of fun, just remember an extra pad.
As of 11/21/09 a key hold has been broken off of the blue line's route. Updated rating is V4+.

Blue Line is definitely the best of the two variations. Worked on it yesterday with John and figured out all the moves, just have to come back when I am fresh to send. Stiff V4 that way.

I've always climbed the blue line. Both lines can utilize the foot jam. And it's definitely not a cheap move and doesn't help everyone. It's one of the more unique moves I've pulled while climbing.

this route is sweet, it can be bumped up to at least a V6 if you challenge yourself by sit starting under the ceiling on the right side, and by eliminating the huge slab to hook onto, it leaves you with two small but decent pockets to work with. making it much more difficult...(:
