Compression moves through slopers and the arete lead to the crux of nabbing a thin crimp on the otherwise blank face. A pounce to a jug on the lip sets up the easier but delicate finish.

Quid Pro Quo

Mamba Out

Quid Pro Quo (sit) AKA Squid Row Row

Start sitting, left hand big rail, right hand low on the arete. Right hand to crimp, left hand to sidepull. Set up for a reachy left hand to a bulbous pinch/sidepull. Right hand slaps on the arete, then to a good right facing rail on the slab. High feet to a move or two on slab to reach the juggy top.

The low low start to Quid Pro Quo. Left hand is the same compressing a tiny knob and right hand on a 1/2 pad crimp (same crimp used for a toe hook later on.)

The sit adds about 3 hand moves into the stand, and  a few foot moves (giving the grade.) Left hand slaps then bumps to a good pinch. Right hand to either the RH start hold or a incut side pull. From here you enter the original line.
