Into the gaston on FSM
Add Photo  Printer View
Description Stand start very high up (if you're shorter you will need to stack pads)on a large, diagonal rail for a right hand, and a lower small crimp for a left (since Aaron broke the good jug to start on).
establish feet and fire out left to a good gaston. Get established on a line of crimps and do a big dynamic move to an awesome jug bar. Top out through some more jugs.
I should add that a sit start is probably possible... It would add about 5-6 moves of painful painful V10 crimping. Go for it!
Location The very thin crack line about 5 feet left of Fulgora.

| I broke the good hold above the triangle crimp. Now start with a right hand on a very high, big but not great sidepull/pinch hold, and a left hand on a small hold below. The problem is still awesome and highly recommended.
I would call it an easy 8 now? I did the low start off tiny holds into the above mentioned right hand, but didnt link it to the finish... it would go at v9 this way I would guess, but it wouldnt be as fun. I may do it next trip anyway. And also, I found a link up from the sit start that looks possible, but only for strong double digit (v12 or more) climbers... small holds, hard moves, steep face. |

| I think the high starting foot broke recently? Felt a little harder today. So sharp, but so good!! |

| It broke this summer, but the small feet around it work still yet. Its tough no matter what feet are used! Ive heard every grade from V4-V8 on FSM. So hard to grade. |
