Comments: Heel hook your left heel and it becomes about V6.
Not the problem it once was since both starting holds down left broke of the scoop broke off.

Location: CA : Sierra Eastside : Bishop Area : Owens River Gorge : Inner Gorge : ... : Phasers on Stun (5.12c)
By: Tim Steele When: Dec 10, 2007 | view comment >> |
Comments: Phasers is actually one of the easier .12c's down there. Go try Steel Monkey, Skin Tight, or Smoothie for a reality check. The crux of Crybaby is harder as well. Phasers is one of the most traveled .12cs in the gorge.
As for the comparison to Excelsior, have you done it? That rig is considered by most peeps to be .13a and it is seldom done. Phasers has a distinct crimp crux down low, but then mellows out. Excelsior is about 12a to a V5/V6 boulder problem, followed by techy 5.11+ to the ... more >>

Comments: The center slab is known as the Bullet Slab (note rifle bullet hole at about mid height), likely first done by "smokin'" Joe Missik. The most direct line is the proudest, although you can move slightly right and find better holds.

Comments: Hey everybody, line up for the Ironman! As a note of trivia, the first ascensionist, Tony Puppo, considered calling it "Desert Peach" due to the large flowering plant that once grew beneath it.

Location: TX : Hueco Tanks : East Mountain : Dragon's Den : Full Service (V10)
By: Tim Steele When: Jan 27, 2007 | view comment >> |
Comments: FA: Dale Goddard, early '90's.
This is the original V10 (the standard for V10, in fact) at Hueco, and is still considered by many to be the best. It was one of the most sought after ticks in the '90's – it still is for that matter.
John Sherman envisioned it and had done the stand, Lip Service, when Dale sent the full rig, calling it “Serves You Right.” However, Sherman's name, "Full Service," seems to have stuck.
