Unknown Stand (V7?) - Bolted Boulder, Lost Horse Canyon

From last fall.




This problem is to the right of Demolition(v4) on the Bolted Boulder.  I started with my right hand on the arete and my left hand on the following crimp:


I spoke to Eric T. from Hamilton about this and he and his friend have done this problem and the sit.  Eric knows more about the bouldering in Lost Horse than anyone else I have talked to.

I feel that the stand is a little bit more difficult than Spread 'Em Stand (V7) but still probably in the 7 range.  The sit seems quite a bit harder.  The beta I found would require going to the heinous left hand crimp first and pulling yourself off of the ground with it and then executing 2-3 more moves with it.  Either way it is a cool problem on the Bolted Boulder that deserves traffic.  Go check it out!!
