Undercling Traverse 

Does this start with your right in the split-finger crimp undercling, left in jug, followed by a cross-thru to the upper crimp with your left? (That is, the move before the right hand crimp/left hand pinch) Or does it start earlier?

I don't really think it matters b/c that move is not the crux. The yet-to-be-published Flagstaff Mountain Bouldering Map & Guide reads as follows:

"Low-Level Traverse / Undercling Traverse (UCT) V9 ***From the pockets at the base of The Contemplation, The Consideration and The Moderate Bulge, traverse right under the bulge and finish up Far East Inside Corner."

People may bitch about the stars or the grade, blah, blah, blah. It's a popular problem for the grade and otherwise. It is what it is, a traverse worth working on if you boulder in the V8 to V10 range.

Nuff said.

BTW - Jim Hollaway did it first in 1974 for those who care.

That's the start that I've always used to try the problem. Emphasis on "try".

Does anyone know where the start is for Reverse Undercling Traverse? Thanks.

Way down and right, just left of a little cave, on small crimps.

Down low on the sloping ramp.

Cool, thanks. Ted

BTW, I think the Reverse Undercling traverse that does not finish up Consideration but runs the entire natural line traverse through the top of Hagan's is a fantastic problem. Not that grades are necessary, but [I'd] say V8. Easier than the UCT and fun to work for those of us that [don't] climb V10.

Great problem, although, for me, the crux came at the very end while topping out rather than on the underclings.

For any beta-sponges out there, there is a video of the problem at my blog: mountainsandwater.blogspot.com/2008/06/undercling-traverse-v>>>
