Description 

Problem is located on the giant slab directly across the rock room from the problem called thank you for smoking on mountain project though it's just a dishy looking slab route that to my knowledge didn't have a name. ANYWAY. A crumbly start on the right side of the boulder where the feet gently slope into vertical rock leads into more solid stone with each move you make toward the top. Eventually you'll want to bust left to a huge flake and top out through the crack/slab up on the left side of the boulder.

Protection 

flat landing but some cush pads would make for much more pleasant falls from the top.
