Remember that one cliff scene in Midsommar? If one of these clearly hollow and scary flakes break off, well, that's the scene that comes to mind. Climb wisely on these holds. Pull down not out. Bring lots of pads. Maybe rap down and test the holds.To the right of "Hell" look for the massive, impossible to pad well, detached block at the base of the boulder. Walk between the boulder and the block and start on the big jug and foot ledge. Climb up the tremendous jug flakes the run up the wall, trending slightly left toward the arete at the top. Use the big jug at the very top to top out. 

Midsommar

Hell Or High Water

One of the very best at the Lab! 

  This problem is both bold and beautiful. Stand start (could go from the sit, but the sit start isn't as fun and doesn't add to the difficulty) with a left hand underclinging and iron edge under the bulge, and a right hand on the sloper/chunk (both mid-arête). Climb directly up the tall arête using thin crimps and a sloper/pinch to compress your way up the proud arete to the high, obvious jug. 

  From the obvious protruding jug, mantle up making use of rails. Once mantled over that section and standing, use the overhead holds and the higher adjacent boulder to stem up. A higher block with huge iron jug ripples also assists this.   

  Walk over the top of the next boulder, and drop down through the tunnel/cave/passageway to walk out of the slot.

This monstrous boulder/highball is directly to the right (when facing) of "Allegory of the Cave". Walk through the deep, dark "cave"-like overhang tunnel. When you see the vertical, blank-looking,  highball arête, this  is the High Water boulder. It continues around the corner as well. "Hell Or High Water" climbs the bold arête corner in the cave/room.
