Starts hard, gets harder.

Bolts and chains.

My original name for this route was "Toddhole". But Todd just couldn't see it for some reason. Dec 15, 2009

Miles Kunkel came very close to flashing this route. Then he realized that Todd hadn't redpointed it yet, and so he pretended to get pumped and fall right at the top. A very un-convincing acting job. Nov 22, 2012

EFR did the same thing for me on a route at the Hairpin. Except he pretended to grease off a hold. It wasn't very convincing either, but I took the gift and snagged the FA. Nov 23, 2012

Never in my life and not that day either. But if you want to tell them I took a dive so you could snag the route, feel free as it makes me look little less self centered. Nov 23, 2012

This is a silly name but consider the source. The story goes that I was on my way to pick up JB for a day at the beach when a really bad song by Julio Inglesias came on the radio. It was stuck in my head the entire day. One weird thought led to another...

I had never been on this thing until the other day. I recall staring up on several occasions and feeling a little sick imagining the razor blade holds that might be on this climb. Oddly enough there is really only one sharp hold IMO, and the moves are a blast. Jan 16, 2015
