It's a piece of work
I have been climbing Face Floppin' for about four years. Sometime around 2004 or 5 a foothold broke off, making the last dyno/deadpoint more difficult. (It wasn't much of a foothold, but its loss made the finish harder by a grade.) Tall climbers can do the final dyno/deadpoint from lower footholds, making it easier. Stronger climbers can static the last sequence. Me (old climber) I have to dyno like crazy. It is a very satisfying route, even though it really amounts to just two dynos.

More like a V4 boulder problem. Good deadpoint move at end.
