This problem was listed as a V4 in the guide I was using. A long sequence of great moves on positive, sculpted holds leads to a tricky, slopey mantel.

Yeah, that topout was full on. The temperature was 30 degrees Fahrenheit and I completed the problem first try, so I think you might be right about the grade. I remember being 99% sure I was going to blow the mantel.

I've even heard my stingier south eastern buddies call this V3. Good old southeastern sandbaggery.
