Description
Adolf in the Bay, climber on nirvana. This is as good as 11+ gets. They should bronze this line!
Adolf starts easily enough--as most Adolf's are wont to do. But soon enough, it's world war. Launch into a steep 'n' deeply pocketed wall and follow the sparsely (for Kaly standards) bolted line as it wends up and right around a hell bulge. An airy stance on good, but smaller pockets is your reward. Now breathe. Gird yourself. Here comes the buttery sickness.
Look left. See those, blackened, greasy-ass, off-camber sloper feet? You've got to step on those, young leader, groping for whatever equally greasy yet crueler, off-camber edges and sidepulls and monos you can manage. Grab the correct ones; don't waste any time flailing on the wrong holds. Finally, reach ten thousand meters to your left for the V hueco to clip the chains.
