Funky Like a Monkey (aka Lieback Rock Traverse)

FA unknown
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

A traverse of lieback rock. Start at the lieback, and traverse left through slippery slabby moves, staying low. When you reach the flake, the face becomes overhung. Make some powerful gymnastic moves to the mantleshelf, then make a hand traverse across it with no feet. A final hard move gets you into the fingercrack. Finish up it.

For a harder variation, start all the way around right and up from the lieback. Traverse left, staying as low as you can. This adds a hard, slippery, thin, downclimbing slab crux to the problem, and bumps the grade at least one higher, but detracts from the overall quality somewhat.
