Description Start on a couple of sloping holds and make a move to a two finger pocket, get your feet up and get ready for the hardest part, cut your right foot, campus up to a bad sloper and stick it (HARD!), then match on the left side of the dip get your left foot up and make the super hard/crux mantle.
Location Left side of boulder, it is the one with lots O' chalk.
Protection Pads and spotter, the fall from this one sends you rolling down a hill if you don't have a great spotter. Watch your ankles landing on your pad, there is a ledgey rock hiding in there.

| F.A. was by Jimmy Symans. V8 was the original rating with hard beta. Better beta downrates to V5. How else could the Wifebeater game be won with 30 back to back ascents with no rest. Ryan Taylor holds that record. |

| Because Flagstaff is full of honemasters, and wiring something into submission doesn't mean it's any easier grade-wise. Wifebeater is not a V5. |

| While I agree that Wifebeater is no V5, depending upon how one does the problem the ratings can be anywhere from a V6-V8+. |

| Must be using hard beta then. I'll repeat.....30 ascents with no rest....v5 or 6 at the hardest. The sit start bumps it up to about a 6 or 7. |
