The V8.
Add Photo  Printer View
Description This is an excellent problem that isn't over until one has fully rocked over onto the slab. Start sitting with your right hand on the obvious blocky hold and left hand on a large edge. Make a desperate first move up to a sloper or pocket and then move up to good pocket, hold the swing and continue straight up the face to the sloping lip. It may be wise to check out the top out and figure out what you can desperately crimp on before getting here on the send.
Location This is route 5 in the east face Right Plethora picture.
Protection A crash pad or two. The landing is excellent.

| Just about on-par with Cytogrinder as a V8. Powerful moves with a nice Texas Mantle exit. |

| This actually does not use a (real) pocket. Start with left hand on sloping edge, with or without thumb-catch, and right on sloper/block. Fire up right hand to sloping two-finger sloper/pocket? (or intermediate to one of two small pockets, before the sloper/pocket). Then definitely use the small pocket/sloper with thumb catch. Move left hand to flat jug-edge and then set your feet and throw to the side-pull in the middle of the face and then fire for the lip and Texas mantle. See picture. |

| Not V10, much easier, probably V8. Climbs well, like a hip-hop purist, versus climbing like those who like ring-tone rap. |
