this problem looks like a total turd, but i swear it is really fun. it’s all about holding the barndoory body position for the first move, sticking a terrible crimp, and then jumping. what’s not to like? as far as the grade goes – here is what i’m thinking:
it’s harder to start for the 5′ 10″ plus crowd (5/6), but harder to finish for the 5′ 7″ minus crowd (5/6)
the crux crimp is the same for everyone
so the grade is basically how hard it is to move to and subsequently hold the crimp.
which is scientifically a v5
hence – v5
