Start sitting, matched on a left-facing incut hold in the bottom of a seam and climb left or straight up. This line's original sequence is V13, climbing straight up from the start, and making a huge move out right to a poor sloper. In 2017, a new sequence was discovered that some suggest brings the grade down to V11. The new sequence climbs the seam straight up, via mini-compression to a layback sequence in the lighter-colored rock. Either way, this problem is a classic, and one of the first hard boulders found and cleaned by Dave Graham in 2010.

Old school mini compressor way. Certainly an eliminate to avoid the layback but imo a worthy one for the sake of preserving the methods that originally made this problem such a classic. Fuckers took my pad… can’t have shit in Detroit.
Wide beta. The crimp for the new method didn’t exist until more recently. Not sure when that happened.
Climbed the “new” method as well. In my head, they’re 2 different climbs.
One of the problems on my World Top 10 tick list! Amazing compression problem. Almost sent it second go, but then blew a big hole in my pinkie. First go today!
