Start on right-facing edges at 7 feet. Climb the face left of the tree and pop out left to the arete. A variation, Bates Eliminate, avoids the arete to climb straight up parallel to the tree and is a grade harder.
Surprised by how fun this one mover was! Videos make it look so easy but establishing is quite hard. Hard to judge the grade since it feels improbable and then “easy” once you’ve figured it out
Proud to understand the tiny foot and tension enough to finally establish. A little sad I don’t understand the rowing motion well enough to do it in one move, but the intermediate method is very stable, and after this I could repeat the stand reliably. Short problems can be so instructive!
Establishing from the ground adds difficulty. Overall problem felt at least V6.
