Description
This line once went at a much more difficult grade, but both the undercling start and a key foot broke slightly and actually made the starting move easier. Now this line goes at (V6).
Once at the main face of the boulder walk to the far right side. Find "Henchman stand" which is the last chunky right corner of the main face.
Below where the corner up high ends, look lower at the bottom portion of the boulder which continues right and is mostly featureless except for the downward facing crack. This small crack allows for a thin, awkward double undercling low start to the high v-1 stand-start above.
Pull on by using the low underclings, core, and whatever terrible smeary feet you can stand up on. Once pulled on (no jump or hop starts you cheater, be sure to pause for a moment) make a couple core intensive moves while negotiating the bad feet and make your way up the rest of the easy face.
