Description
This is another ass dragging problem. Start on the right side of the flake that is a few feet off the ground halfway along the Jim Hall Boulder. Your right hand should be on a decent sidepull with your left on a decent crimp. Make a really long move to the lip of the boulder, go up right to a little tooth, and go to the top.
[Hide Photo] In the picture, I'm one move in. The proper start is matched on the right super chalked hold. It really isn't bad. Fun problem with a big move, sharp crimps, and a cool drive by. www.olmecappar…
[Hide Comment] This problem deserves more credit than the above description gives it. Good rock. Fun moves. Steep. I imagine it would be an excellent place to escape the heat in the summer as well.

[Hide Comment] Agreed, steep and fun, one of the only steep climbs on Flag, the rock that was under the problem is long gone, and the aforementioned ass dragging ceases to transpire (aka you can now dyno the first move and let your legs swing through).

[Hide Comment] Very nice line...coming from a Morrison child...V7 seems correct...although easier than the Holloway problem in the Lobby (Morrison), I would have a hard time saying .12+ (V6)....

[Hide Comment] I thought this was easier than Valhalla, and I'm not tall (5'8"). I went right hand first to the sharp crimp then left hand to the jug and right hand to the top crimp. Feels like a 3 move Tension/Moon board climb, maybe V5/6 at most. Fun little problem regardless of grade.

[Hide Comment] I climbed it post break, and I don't know if I was the first one or not. It feels more like V8 in my opinion after the break - definitely a bit harder than before. Here is the video: instagram.com/p/CtqAR7gsNGE… . I am curious as to what other people think.

[Hide Comment] The dyno is still sick post break, but it is a bummer for shorties. Might make this climb a bit harder for them, if not more committing.

[Hide Comment] Climbed post break at 6'4" (I was able to keep my feet on, so it felt V6), my friend who is 5'11" used the same hand beta, but he had a big foot cut, so it was definitely harder for him. The grade is unchanged with the left hand throw beta either way. There is likely a height cutoff where it will feel harder now that the intermediate is no longer there. That being said, I don't think the crux was the throw for either of us, bringing the right hand up was.
