Got completely shut down by this. Just wondering if I was missing anything:

Stand in break. RH in peg/ballnut pocket just right of flake. LH up to very sharp 2/3 finger pocket pinch in middle of flake. LF up to good juggy rocking block in break. Stretch up and touch edge of lone 2 finger pocket in wall above. Unable to move.....and???

I've always just bouldered it out. There is a reach, you commit, and it eases off rapidly. Sorry not to be more help, I wanted to do it the other day but there were too many punters around.

I found the gear in the pocket (I had a small cam in there, which pulled when I fell on it anyway) got in the way of where I wanted my left foot, both to hold, and move off the "lone" 2 finger pocket. Without the gear in there it was much easier. As JB says, after the long move from the 2 finger pocket to the first of the breaks at 20 feet or so, it eases off and is about VS to the top.

I remember a long reach which felt committing then easy after.

It was full extension for me to get the pocket. Where is the "midget" emoticon?
