Vanishing Point -- v8.97

---

Description

The original ascent came from Wills Young in the late nineties, at which time he christened it Vanishing Point. The problem went pretty much unnoticed until E.Z. Eric Harrison rediscovered it in around '02, naming his ascent Lucid Dreams after him having dreams about the climb. The problem became popular after E.Z. sent it, and it wasn't until later that people realized that it was Wills "seam problem". The problem climbs some awesome rock, and it has a great sloper crux right at the end! In fact, the straight up finish is a great problem in itself, dubbed Flight of Osirus (V7).
Sit start at good holds at the base of the offset seam. Move diagonally left on the seam, then bust sideways left to a blocky corner. Finish up a green headwall with smoooth slopers. The problem is 12ft. tall with a sharp edged rock to the left of the climb. So don't forget that spotter.
