Description 

Cool holds, and interesting moves lead to satisfying jugs. Start sitting, and do the steep crux moves to get established on the wall. Angle up and right, looking for the path of least resistance. It gets easier the higher you go.

I thought these moves were about as hard as the crux moves on Self-Service or Salsa Verde (hence the v3+), but I was on rest day without much skin, and these holds are little sharp, so I could be wrong.

Location 

Around the corner to the right from the Nerve Damage Prow, on the same boulder, you'll find The Big Lebowski.

Protection 

You really want more than one pad on this, and a spotter, as it has an uneven landing and traverses. It's not a serious problem like Nerve Damage, by any means, more like an ankle twister.
