An eliminate variation of The Tempest with good movement and holds. Begin and end the same as Tempest, but avoid all holds to the right of the arête, going straight up and left instead.

Really quite fun for an eliminate. Forces you to use some of the more interesting holds on the wall instead of the jugs to the right.

First go after the tempest. Super cool movement on some of the coolest holds on the boulder!
