Description
Smile is a solid traverse with good body tension.
Sit start with hands matched in the dimple at the center of the boulder's overhang. From there, traverse to the right using the slopers and crimps (crux) to gain the jugs at the arête. From there, walk the feet out right, and follow with the hands using the good sidepulls to rock onto the slab and top out the boulder.
The left food hold used while traversing through the slopers is one of my all-time favorites and likely the key to this problem.
Location
This is on the North face of Sonofabitchinbastard Boulder.
Protection
A few pads, but the landing is incredible though.
