Location: Tram
Notes: Short and Powerful

This excellent little power problem climbs out a mushroom shaped wall of beautiful granite. First climbed by Joe Morgan, this problem used to be a V4. Recently, a key hold broke off, leaving a much smaller and much less incut grab to pull on. The problem has a nice mix of tricky tension moves at the bottom, to dynamic moves at the top.

Sit start on meager holds at the lower arete. Move to bad holds in the overhanging part, then launch for the lip. The climb is about 9ft. tall, with a few pointy boulders strewn around the base for spice.
