The Higher, Harder One 

The FA was Darren Knezek and Bill Boyle. I originally climbed to the left from the anchors of Simple Simon using nuts and cams and put the anchors halfway up the wall. Called it the High, Hard One and rated it 5.11b. The old anchors stopped right in the middle of the climbing. A few years later Boyle wanted to extend the route up to the top of the wall as well as the climb to the left called Everest 101. I agreed as we both thought the routes should stop where the climbing stops and the grades went from the 5.11's to the 5.12's. Even though I put it up, I think its the best of the 12a's here on The Bad Bananas Wall. A really neat pumpy start followed by a tricky rest and then a steep powerful ending.

Awesome route! Very cool movement at the end. Pumpy yet very enjoyable start

Absolutely fabulous route with a tough first 4 bolts then lets up to a tedious rest, then up thru the last crux. Endurance and technical climbing with some nice delicate liebacks and some good slopers. Thanks DK for an awesome climb. My fav on the wall and well, higher and harder than the left 2 12a's.
