After that Dawn Wall effort pretty sure he could tick The Nose too. |

Anybody heard any news on the new Wide Boyz route that's supposed to be 15a? |

^^Jeez...then what is it? That was TC’s excuse, but maybe he just didn’t want to admit that his wife (at the time) climbed harder than him. :p eli poss wrote: You mean Crucifix? I think they’ve worked most of the sections (which they named a bunch of weird things as variations) but haven’t linked it yet. Sounds pretty nutty...combination of roof fingers and offwidth. |

The Recovery Drink, although Nico Favresse didn't give it a grade after his FA, several world's best crack climbers have tried it a lot and failed, and rumor has it that it is around 9a (14d). |

Nothing new but relevant - Sam Elias just repeated Brozone |
