Bambi Left sent!

Just wanted to let you all know that the sick new bouldering problem I recently found was sent without incident last Thursday. "Bambi Left" a horizontally traversing V 0.4 presents unique and rapidly changing objective hazards. While the holds are easily found and represent little difficulty, a roof directly above the problem prevents full extension of the body and cramps style during ascent. For those into zen-like first ascents the atmosphere in which the problem is located is often crowded and loud interferring with concentration. Other boulders on the problem often block key holds on this route and may be unwilling to share the location due to a variety of perceived territorial threats ("I was here first") or xenophobia ("you're too big!").
Nevertheless, for those willing to work with the challenges, this route represents an expansion into the Park City region of the well-acclaimed workplace bouldering ticklist which is currently dominated by such classics as "Wearhouse hand crack".
