βeta: If you’re 5’5 and got a negative ape index, this feels so hard! Hand jam is possible but need to move very dynamically and do a wild heel hook

βeta: Seen the comments. Anyone above 6 feet shouldn't comment on any climbs really. As nicknamed by Rockfax's description of a route (can't remember which one it was now), tall people = cheaters. LOL

βeta: In reply to Richard - 'fair at 4c...you just need the ability to lock off'. Please could you show me any other 4c moves where the ability to lock off is crucial? It's at least 5a if not 5b.

βeta: V3 is english 6a/5c. This is neither, good suggestion to have a bouldering grade coz it is a bouldering problem but closer to V0 or V1

βeta: Thought it was fair at 4c - not technically hard, you just need some flexibility and the ability to lock off. There's a good right-hand jam in the right crack which helps, too.

βeta: Bit of a stiff pull - at least 5a in my book, but well protected, with much easier climbing above.

βeta: Simply stand in the cave undercut the crack, take the jug at arms length ( i'm 6'1") do a 2 arm pull up, heel hook, one-arm lock of with your right and reach up to the second jug with the left. sorry but sounds like a V3? boulder problem to me
