Alright, you guys got me! I don't know much about this problem. Infact, I don't really know anything about it, 'cept that it used to be V7 from the stand and V9 from the sit. Then, recently, the crux hold crumbled away, leaving a scant remnant of its former self. The problem is now considered a V9 from the stand and V11 from the sit ...Whatever! Its a pretty awesome looking line that has alot of moves, and some pretty cool patina plates towards the top.

From the sit, which is actually a stand start further down in a pit, start at a footlong thin rail. Pull cruxy moves on thin edges slightly right and up, joining the original stand start. Pull more cruxy moves on thin edges to larger and larger flakes and plates. The problem finishes roughly 16ft. high with some big (and possibly loose) plates. It seems that its possible to go to the right at the top, to a big hueco. But finishing left and around looks way cooler.
