Beta Request: Relic

Does anybody have beta for relic at Josh. I need some help!

Also, Does Bittersweet start on the rail or the pair of crimps directly under the rail? And what is that crazy looking line to the right of it?

Thanks

Relic starts just left of tidal wave (contrary to the book). Start on good holds just left of the arete and traverse into the two incut sidepull crimps of tidal wave. This thing is super foot work intensive. Sorry to say I don't remember all my beta. It's been done with a few different sequences. Play on it and figure out move by move what works best for you.

If I remember right, Bittersweet does start one the two really thin crimps. The thing to the right Rob Mulligan did and I can't remember what he called it. I think it was v7ish, but not sure. Also the right arete (just right of robs problem) goes as well from a sit. It was called "Shark and Cripf" at about v5.

Thanks Aron.

I've updated the database for Relic:

Can you add the others?

I think I did a problem of the day on Relic on the old socalbouldering.com, with sequence photos?

I have sequence photos somewhere.

I added the lower left start several weeks after doing the problem from the listed start...just after sending off the book to the printer.

RTM,

Those sequence photos were a great resource. Any chance of attaching them to the problems in the data base? Fraction?
