You may ask, why is this a matter of glee? I'll tell you. I don't know. But it's a tradition. Because it's actually a v0 that takes some measure of skill. Hyper-local wall, as I may have mentioned before, is fond of increasing the difficulty of a climb largely by increasing the difficulty of the holds; this one is difficult because of their placement.
After a session and a half working on it (and other SQUIRREL!) I still don't quite have it down. What I do have is a wee bit of improvement in technique being forced upon me by this. Also a measure of progress on the long traverse v2 whose crux is in the same corner as said new v0. "Get your weight under your arms and then swing across this gap" is far, far easier said than done for me still...
