Details //
Start: Same start as for Smack the Dragon.

Go: Make the same opening move with the left hand as Smack the Dragon. Then move right, staying low on tiny crimpers and then moving up on more tiny crimpers until you are forced to top out at the far end of the overhang.

Where to climb: Central Park, New York City
