Description
Probably the Pile Up's traverse. But who knows? Either way Laura griffith claimed the FA a few years back. Starts on Pile driver jug and traverses to the right (low holds) into sledgehammer. I am listing her original rating for this. Consensus (based on 8a sends) places it more on the hard V9-soft V10 range. Anyone who has sent it relatively recently (past two years or so, I hear that about three - four years ago there was significant hold breakage) should chime in on the matter.

Classic crimp problem, starts on an undercling and a side pull, stacked pad start. To the left of the arete problem Superman and the right of Lois Lane. The rating felt a bit stiff, but thats just my thoughts.

Description
Standing start on large patina plate in the center of the downhill face, to the left of Man of Steele, and right of the left arete. Listed as V3/4 - the problem has either had breakages or sandbagging, it feels just as hard as other Steele 5's.

I went to steele today and sent it.
Beta is as follows, at second rail, with both hands on rail, kick left foot up onto rectangular block on the far left of the seam/ledge. Rock onto it with your right hand pulling down hard on the sloper, reach up and high with the left, either to the first crimp at the obvious flake, or the higher one about 8 inches up and to the right of it, foot hand match with your right side. Then up... "
