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.
