Description Just to the right of the arete (Beam Me Up Scottie), crouch-start on some big edges and head up and slightly right. Climb past a couple sets of thin pockets and make a toss for the lip. Unlocking the sequence is the crux.
An area classic and a must-do for the grade.
Location West face of the 'Solarium Boulder', left of center, just right of the left arete.

| Steeper than it looks. The crux move up to the lip will feel hard for the grade for those shorter in stature. |

| A hold has recently broken (the 2nd large side pull) which makes this more sustained, but doesn't change the grade. |

| The consensus when I was there was that this was a v4 for those under 6 ft., also the new book gives it V4. |

| Getting pretty polished, it hurts the quality. Chalk, scrub, blow, repeat. |
