Needle to the Vein

Description 

Fun one move wonder near Porcelain. Start on bad hands and a bad foot and make a long move to a not great hold. From there, hit the jug and top out


Location 

When facing Porcelain, this problem starts on the arete of the boulder directly to your left.

Crimpy, low percentage if done the original way. Utilizes a nice finely grained sidepull sloper. Very satisfying when executed.

I understand that most ascents now use the right arete, which makes the problem significantly easier, maybe V2 or V3, but still cool.
