Potato cam vid of FA by Erik Knall. He said felt V9, but possibly height-dependent (he's on the taller side). Nov 20, 2019

[Hide Comment] Nice one, Erik! Just repeated it today... IMO it felt maybe more like V11. Felt easy when I did it as well, but I think it's one of those subtle ones that just clicks. Very skin dependent! Also, I used a different method, I'll put a link to the video:

[Hide Comment] Oh, I also unfortunately crumbled the right hand crimp as I was topping out. I don't think it really affects the climb though. Nov 29, 2019

[Hide Comment] Repeated this during quarantine. Felt like solid V10 to me. Unfortunately while trying to add a sit start, I broke the foot that the other 2 ascents have used. The boulder still goes without the foot though! Jun 9, 2020

[Hide Comment] A few days ago I did a sit to this, it adds a few moves: youtu.be/66XdkAa3F7E?si=3B4….

None of the new moves are cruxy, but it does add a bit to the climb! I'd be interested to hear other people's opinions about the grade. Mar 26, 2024

[Hide Comment] Woweee!!! Good job, Madeline! Should it bumped up a grade to V11? (You made it look easy!) Mar 29, 2024
