Shelob’s Lair

This is a fun problem if you can get it to go.  As for the beta, it’s kind of a free for all.  You primarily climb on one boulder with the exception for the starting feet and hand or foot jams. Start in the middle of the cave working your way along the roof toward the side facing Pyramid Boulder finagling with what beta works for you (I used left hand and foot jams and right toe hooks while moving my right through the holds).  Once you reach the crystal hold at the base, either throw a right foot cam out or keep tracking up making your way up over the lip along the arete and right sidepull into the topout.

This problem starts in the middle of the cave (back facing Pyramid) with right hand on a small crimp on the face and left in a jam up in the crevasse with feet pressed up against the rock across you.  Work your way through the cave to the lip, up and over using the left arete into the topout.  It’s up to you what pads you want, but the smaller the better (it’s a short and soft landing).  You will probably skim the pads and a couple of rocks around you, but as long as any of your parts aren’t crashing into them I wouldn’t consider it a dab it’s not worth the frustration (if you’re not about that don’t climb it). To be honest I really have no idea what grade this goes at.  My guess is V5-7, but that will also greatly vary based on the individuals stature and strengths, so I will let you guys throw up what grade you think it is, because mine is just a shot in the dark.
