Description
Originally called V5, I don’t think anybody sitting at the base of this and trying to slap that hueco would disagree with the upgrade. Start sitting with the left hand in a small pocket and right hand on a good edge at 3 feet (same edge as utilized on 'Drunken Sailor'). Find the key feet and slap to the large hueco. Originally this was done with a committing top out straight up, avoiding the large crystal on 'Man In The Boat'. Nowadays, most people climb this into 'Left Butt Cheek' and finish as for that line.
A fun problem with a hard first move. This has also been done from a slightly lower start, by starting matched on the two angled crimps/edges at 3 feet, which adds a some difficulty, but is a bit scrunched at the start!
