Description 

The awesome toprope problem just to the left of Sheer Stress. Powerful, technical moves make this climb more like a tall boulder problem. Just getting your feet off the ground is a challenge, and it gets harder from there! Ascend using low friction slopers and sidepulls and very bad feet until you finally reach a "real hold" about fifteen feet up, at which point the difficulties become more manageable.

Location 

Five feet to the left of Sheer Stress on the Red Wall.

Protection 

Toprope problem. Easily TR'ed from the anchors for Thai Stick. Apparently this has been bouldered/soloed, but with a bad landing and committing finish it would be a very serious undertaking.
