Description 

This interesting problem offers interesting moves on rock that's a little on the rough side.

SDS at an good undercling and contort your body (the vassal lean) as you work your hands along the steep arete. Gain a good jug and work up to the top. Can be done from a standing start at about V0+.

• This problem isn't listed in the Joshua Tree Bouldering Guide but is an obvious line with some good moves that's worth a go when in the area.

Location
