New Camp 4 East problem
"The Business (V2+?)"
The Business is halfway between Bachar Cracker and the Swan Slab boulders and uphill through thick underbrush, but totally worth finding-- a four-star problem if I've ever seen one! A huge downed pine is rotting where it fell on two boulders that meet to form a triangular cave perfectly framing Half Dome as you climb this problem-- try it as the sunset lights up the face!
It starts on an obvious ledge on the underside of one of the boulders and has a big, unique first move to a large jug. The rest of the holds are smaller but oh-so-satisfying.
I bagged the fa (I'm assuming, since the holds were crumbly and the area isn't supertopoed) on 11/5/07, and I'd love it if anyone would try it and comment on my rating.
At any rate, it's an awesome, secluded problem with brilliant holds and a stellar view... enjoy!

my comment would be that a four-star problem does not have crumbly holds, but I'm glad you enjoyed the experience.
