West Side, The Terraces, Transformer Boulder. (page 62). Optimus Prime old grade - V8 new grade - V7 The grade was reduced because the stand start starting holds were re-defined. To do the regular stand start, start left hand on a chest-high four finger crimp and right hand on the large right-facing pinch / sidepull. This seems to be the most logical starting position. The Sit start starts sitting and down to the left. To do the sit start, start left hand on a large flake / jug, right on a thin gaston. Climb into the regular stand start and finish the same as the regular stand start. Be very careful when pulling on the sit start holds. They are made of more brittle rock and may break off, causing the original stand start to loose its footholds.
