This testy problem features technical liebacking over a bulge to gain a crack and better holds - once established on the slab above it's easy to the top.

This problem may favor taller climbers slightly as they'll be able to reach the better holds straight away - either way you'll have to pull on a sharp lip of the crack for a move.
