Dem Apples
Description
Sit start on two okay pinches then slap your way up good holds with odd feet and tension and a slightly scary move to an undercling-side pull at about 10 feet. The big jug out left is OFF route. If you go left then trav back into the problem this is not the v8 way it was first done. Once on the left hand undercling you can get your feet up and commit to the tall slab above which has a long move to reach the lip at about 20 feet. I did this problem 8/08 and only recently went back to get the thing on video.
As for grade: it's harder (for me) than the other area problems
Extension

Location
This boulder problem faces north on the boulder that is under the Aircraft Carrier. If you are facing Romeo (V8), turn around and look down the hill and you will see Dem Apples (V8/9).
Protection
A spotter, 1 big pad, and 1 thin pad for the sit.
