Super nice vert problem that wanders up a gentle overhang. Start on the flat edge and mono. Due to finding better beta and the removal of the small tree at the top out, this boulder problem is no longer V6.

Great climb. Toe jam. Far left foot. Stay low on the sloper, go to highest right pocket, get high left foot in the gully, left hand deep to good hold. Top out was less sketchy once you commit.
