    Floor is LavaV7⭐⭐⭐
    Face away from 'Epiphany', looking downhill and slightly to the right. This problem is in the middle of the face of a long short arching boulder that is about 35º overhung. SDS in a pit between two rocks matched on an undercling that is positive but angled awkwardly. Go straight up using a perfect sloping edge, crimps, and/or side-pulls. Snag the lip and T/O.

    Infected Mushroom LeftV7⭐⭐⭐⭐
    A common variation of Infected Mushroom that traverses left and up from the triangle notch and ends by topping out on jugs.
    KamikazeV7-
    Start sitting at the base of the arête between 'cryptography' and 'classified'. LH starts high on a thin side-pull pinch on the left side of the arête, RH down low in a 2F pocket on the right side of the arête. Crank off the ground and bust way up and right to a RH undercling. Work up the arête to match and finish on good holds off to the right. The dismount is treacherous because of the rock behind/beneath you - be careful ! A true SDS or it's easier. Shorter climbers may need to slide an extra pad under to reach the LH start hold.
