Boulder problem to the right of Stay the Hand?

Does anyone know the name of the bouldering problem (connected to a bolted route, I think) on the right side of Stay the Hand, at Roadside Crag? It looks like an insane roof problem, I'm curious as to what the V-rating is.

FA 5ish years ago? Gimme a break. I climbed it 15 years ago, and I don't think I was the first. My recollection is that it was glued by a cincy climber. Maybe Tim Steele.

I think you were probably the first. Tim wasn't climbing that strong back then, and I remember when you did it... I do think it was Tim who glued it.

Rereading that one, I think I came off as an arrogant prick. Didn't mean to.

It is the third time today I've come across one of my FA's being misattributed to someone else. Spank and Tikka (something) were both mine (along with my brother in the case of Tikka (something).

Thanks, everyone!

I was up there on spring break - first time at the RRG, and it was an inspiring problem.

(sigh) I miss the Red already.
