Frank's Problem (variation)

This easier variation to

Frank's Problem

(V4) shares both the start and finish of that problem but avoids the crux making it a good warm-up for this boulder and the immediate vicinity.

Start at the low sidepull flake (shared with the

Short Sloper Traverse

and

Frank's Direct

) and at the first horizontal move slightly right and then straight up into the upper rail to finish as for Frank's Problem.

The finish, while not terribly difficult, is above a small boulder making a spot particularly helpful.

Left side of the Northeast Face.
