Very fun.
Found the most obvious line to be the water groove itself. Make your way to the jug down low, friction up to a good stance, lock a toe in the groove and stretch for the not-so-good pockets at the top. Bouldering pad is all that's needed but have it placed correctly because its a long way to the ground from the cruxy top.
