Gotta get your highball pants on for this one! The Architect (v11) - Index, WA (New easier beta?)

What a tall boy! Get on your highball pants, grab a spotter or two, and give this thing a shot! Honestly, there wasn't any one move that felt like the crux to us, and it seemingly got more difficult as you climbed higher, so it's relatively approachable!

But we will admit that the landing zone could be better... The rock adds some danger to an uncontrolled fall, so be careful. We padded it and set a spotter there, but never landed on it, so I don't think its too much of a worry. 

Every other video we've seen of this problem shows the climber toss to the lip, and their foot cuts, making it look SCARY, COMMITING, and HARD. Jake and I were able to break this beta and static the top, making it feel considerably safer! We recommend this beta!

Yeah, the beta of a 5'6" +2 climber isn't going to be super helpful for you, its true xD
