Start sitting down with both hands on crimps just above the lip. The left hand crimp is on the far side of the lip/roof. The starting right crimp is approximately 18 inches to the right of that, just above the lip. Make big moves alternating left and right, using the side-pulls, keeping compressed. Keep this alternating movement, while establishing your feet above the lip, and when you can, using a left hand side-pull with thumb catch and right hand high up on the right corner, set your feet, backstep on the starting crimp and throw up and over the center for a flat shelf.... or just continue tick tacking up. See the photos for body position beta.

Get Got

Zoster Coaster

Get Got has a great assortment of holds and climbs some of the best rock at the Texas Boulder Area.

Sit start with hands matched on the lip's bumps or use the lower left hand two-finger pocket and right hand sidepull.  Either start felt about the same difficulty, the lower start adds a few moves though.  From there, work left to a gaston, then set and throw a big right hand to a good sidepull, work the feet up to the start holds, gain the left hand pocket and eventual shelf below the lip, and top it out.

The crimp far out left at the lip is easy to miss but plays a big role in repositioning the feet to get onto the slab.

Sit start with whatever feels comfortable, I used a left hand crimp, and a right hand pinch.  From there, work straight up the slight overhang using the pinches, gastons, and/or sidepulls.  Once at the lip, work the bumps up for the topout.

The hardest part is sorting through the vast array of potential holds.  Many are terrible, but there are few key holds that make this problem go pretty easy.
