The Ice Cave, 7A+
Sit-start with right hand on long edge and left on either a strange, crimp-pocket or a low, sloping sidepull. Climb through crimps, rails, and sloping pinches to finish on a flat rail. Great movement. A lower start (left hand on sidepull, right on a three-finger undercling) has been done at more-or-less the same grade. (FA Trent Hoover, 2014)

I think this is one of those ones where the original beta might've been appropriately hard, but easier betas were eventually found. My friends and I made very quick work of this and agreed that there are several V5's in the Slide alone that took much more work than The Ice Cave (e.g. Wild West).
