Left Corner Problem 

FA Dave Groth

This is a great, powerful route, with unique holds and solid movement.

Does the finish of this problem stick to the corner, or does go to the right and end on the man eater direct finish?

J Hann, I go straight up the corner. I also slap a good hold up and right above the Man-eater to help pull the feet up for the finish.

hmm my understanding was that you finish with the maneater topout after the football baseball holds. Does it go harder than V4 with the direct topout then, because it seemed pretty tough and super heady with the dropoff below when you get up there. Also Ringer broke off a pretty key sidepull going for the topout and almost died, dick.

Yesterday Skyler and myself worked the left corner direct and both of us sent. We didn't use any of the holds to the right beyond the baseball hold on the face. Just curious to what the beta for the original corner problem is. The direct was definitely harder, probably V5. Do we have a FA on our hands??? Probably not, but lets hear some input.

Strong work Ely, did you use a left heel hook high up on a small dish on the left side of the arete? just curious. Sounds like Remo has sent direct.

Nope, no heel hook on the arete. After i reached some holds up high, i did a HIGH right foot step on the football. Then i rocked the body weight up and stepped the left foot on the bulge. From there you can easily reach a good jug to asstist in the mantle.
