3m. Controversy! The first 7A at The Was. Like Ondra's Silence, this problem will probably never see a second ascent ... but not because it's that hard. The issue is: who wants to spend a lot of time under an old bridge amongst smashed glass? Whether this is really a 7A will probably never be confirmed.

A little contrived (look closely at the photo and use only the marked holds), but a good short problem in a different style. This is a sit start without any hand or foot matching AND without using the wall to the right. Start with hands and feet on the four lowest holds (the only real hold is for your right hand). Move right and up (the crux?). Use the side pulls/stacked monos and pull through. To finish, match on the apex of the arête. Be careful; it is not a good hold; balance and reach are required.
