This line starts on the left of the potato chip block, and moves right up good holds to a positive topout.

Stand start (sit down is slightly harder) on a right undercling and a left sloper, cross left to a flat crimp, move out right to a good jug. Match the jug then go up left hand again slightly right to a not as chalked up flat jug.  Reach right hand up to a good crimp up and right, match then reach for a great jug.  Move slightly left then top out using a good right hand in a white scoop.

Potato Chip

Start above the

Potato Chip SDS

.  Move up on crimps and trend right to a sweet pinch, then pull the somewhat sloping lip.  This has superb movement. This thing flows really well.

Start as low as you can in the juggy crack, and climb to an easy top out. It would surprise me if no one has climbed this fun and obvious line. If anyone knows of an earlier ascent than summer 2018, feel free to update the info.

The best start is probably on the big jug above the

Potato Chip SDS

.  Move through the huge sidepull/layback feature to topout the same way as the

PC Pinch

problem.

This is a two move wonder. Start sitting on the pointy jug, fire up to a crimp, then engage, pull through to the lip that isn't far above, and top out. It is a very short but a nice line.

I actually have no idea on the grade - it is somewhere between V4-V7, I'd guess.

Start 5 or so moves before the beginning of

Potato Chip

.

Start the same as

Potato Chip Sit Start

, but do the most obvious thing, and climb straight up finishing on the

Potato Chip Layback

. A few hard moves on crimps gets you to the juggy block.

This climb begins on a decent left hand crimp and a good right hand sidepull.  Cross left hand, bad right hand, bump to the "potato chip" hold.  Shuffle feet, left hand up to a bad intermediate pinch and bump to a nice incut jug/crimp.  Match.  Left hand up to a decent sidepulling crimp right foot up.  Toss to a decent sidepull--the top of it is a jug.  Stay cool on the topout or move slightly left on jugs.

Crux is moving to the nice incut jug/crimp.

Two stars for good holds and nice movement.  Loses stars for the back-dab-slab landing and the potential chasm you could fall into near the top of the climb.

There is a V8/9 that traverses in from the left about four holds.  1.5 stars for this version.
