Pull up into the big vertical crack to start with both feet on a good ledge. Move the left foot to a little pocket and then reach out to the crimp side pull with the left hand and step the right foot up into another small pocket. From here aim the left foot towards the slanting ledge under the break and then let go of the crack with the left hand to drop down onto the right foot while just holding the crimp. Then, reach up and across to a small crimp with the right hand and bump the left hand down onto a different lower side pull crimp while bringing the right foot across to the slanting ledge to then bump the right hand down onto the first crimp used. Walk the feet up the ledge and then drop the right leg down and do a big reach across to the scooped dish. Once gained, switch feet and drop the left leg down and then reach the right hand back to a lower side pull crimp to then move the left foot onto a small but good rounded edge, while bringing the right hand across to match. Next, switch feet and step the left up to a good foothold and then cross the right hand underneath to find a small crimp on the left side of the scooped dish. Finally, reach across to a good crimp in the break, switch feet and drop the left down to a good low edge while letting go with the right hand, then switch hands in the crimp and reach to the big ledge/jug, cross over the feet and step through to then match with the right hand.

An eliminate but it does climb the main clean middle section between the breaks to make a technical and balanced problem without using any of the easier underclings beneath or above the break, or roof jugs near the crack. All feet are in but clever switching, bumping and flagging are key.
