Yet another whipper from the crux

grabbing the tiny crimp at the crux
Suraj Kushwaha on his send of WnD, reaching for the ending jug. The left hand here went unused in mine and McCormick's ascents, showing just how differently the crux of this climb can be done. (P.C. Jim Lawyer)
Mid crux on an earlier attempt. The left foot I'm using broke necessitating using an even smaller one left of the seam!
Entering the low crux on an earlier attempt. The gaston I'm going to with my right hand is no longer there.
A shot of the gear protecting the crux. Check out the lobes on the green-yellow hybrid! This thing is champ!
Still a project...
Moving the left foot mid-crux using a left hand crimp unused in prior ascents. This foot move is among the hardest on the climb. There are several ways to do the upper crux, but one thing stays the same -- bad footholds. (P.C. Jim Lawyer)
