Notes: Short, steep, and powerful

This problem was originally done from the stand by myself, and called Black (V6). I did this with the intent of linking it to the sit start, which I could never do. For years it was known as the Black Project. Finally, Ryan Held came along in '05 and sent the thing, naming the link up Soul Shine.

The problem starts as a sit at a large shelf. Move up and slightly right on thin tramslots, then over to the blunt arete. Most do the cruxy move to the arete as a huge dnyo, but I can see here in the photos, Daniel doing some sneaky ninja heel hooking. Compose yourself on a small jug and then finish it out with a hard mantel.
