Subject: Posse aka: Hesitation Factor
Rating: V7
Quality: 2 stars
Location: Tram
Notes: Don't hesitate

This problem was first climbed by Paul Dusatko back in the earlier days of Tram. It was not known that Paul actually named the problem (Posse), and it was dubbed Hesitation Factor because of the do or die lunge move that looms over a pinball style landing area.

The problem starts as a sit at a thin incut sidepull flake. Pull thin edges and lunge to a Tramslot, or, if you're a freak of nature, lock off to a thin edge up and left, then lock off again to the Tramslot (see photos). This beta variation can feel more secure, although a bit harder. From the cruxy Tramslot move, easier moves lead to the top. The problem is about 14ft. tall and has a funky uneven landing area.
