| What problem is this exactly? It sounds like beached whale from your description or possibly the easier variant right of beached. I am unfamiliar with any problem named "corner lunge" on the Eliminator Boulder. |

| I got the problem's name from the Horsetooth Hang comp guidebook. It's right next to Beached Whale. |

| This really isn't much of a lunge...more like a reach around.
Plus it's more like VB+. |

| It's the variant of Beached Whale. The start is the same, but instead of throwing up to the dish for Whale, throw around the arete to the right for a nice hold. Then used the holds on the arete to topout. |

| For all the crap this shorty half-problem gets, if you're new to bouldering it might just be your first sensible heel hook, and even after ticking problems on all three remaining sides of Eliminator it still feels pretty darn good to click into that huge, loving crimp. |
