| I got this route last friday. I'll call it 'Liber Abaci,' and call it V9. I climbed more or less straight up the face, so a little to the right of the line in the beta picture. Stand start, horrible feet, and super crazy crimps. I will post some pics asap. |

| This was one of the harder projects in Duluth but I think there are harder one's out there. As for the grade I think peter is right on. Simlar in difficulty as V9s or V10 I have tried at Sawmill. And yes it is cool. The whole area of Little Fox Canyon is very cool. Here are some that may be harder- Welcome to Duluth Project Brewer Arete Project Spirit wall project |

| I'm totally guessing at the grade. it took me a lot of work though. and by a lot, i mean obsessive. i would go out just to climb this some days until my fingers were bleeding, then tape up and go till i couldn't see anymore. I really like the route... it is super crimpy and super technique related. It's basically the definition of my style, so I don't think others like it as much as me. If you ever want to come up here nic, I will show you some of the hard projects in duluth. |
