T is for Tall is one of the newer classic eliminate problems
on Jugs Overhang, the slightly overhanging wall just around the
corner to the right of The Pit. (See Map 1.)
As is typical of newer problems, it follows a specific sequence.
It starts with a left hand on a distinct edge, above the left
side block on the lower left of the overhanging face. The right
hand starts with a split finger grip on a hold called the Spock
hold (named for the split fingers-Live Long and Prosper!). The
left foothold is on the lower right side of that block on the
lower left of the overhang. The right foot reaches far out to
the right to a small hold on the center of the lower face. Reach
up with the left hand to an edge high above the right side of
the block. This edge is called Ernie's hold. Crank up, floating
the left leg, and reach an edge on the face up and somewhat right.
This is Ernie's Direct hold. Bring your feet up to small holds
and bump your right hand to the Bar, the horizontal hold on the
lip of the overhang. From there one can use the good holds above
to top out, or traverse left around the corner and down Transportation.
