Lord of the Flies

This is a really fun problem which runs up the overhanging underside of Flake 2. It begins on two low holds just to the right of the Left Side Arete. Using the arete or the large positive hold mentioned in Left Side Arete is off limits for this problem. Begin with hands crossed in low holds about three feet off the ground. Reach up with the right for a small positive hold. Left hand goes up to a layback feature. Step up onto sloping ledge and then reach long with the right up to a triangular pinch hold. Left hand comes up to a hold next to the right hand. Now comes the committing moves: Reach up into a left facing arete for a small layback with your left hand. Hike your feet up and reach right to the arete or best available hold. Then reach up to the high horizontal break mentioned in Left Side Arete. Move around the corner and enjoy the view.
