Description

Skip the sit start of Busted for an equally as fun, but not as fulfilling climb! It's rated a V7 in the latest guidebook. Super safe landing. Start a bit before the crux move to the crack.

[Hide Comment] Difficulty depends on the variation you do. If you start and go left with right hand and heel hook to reach ledge of "Fiend it Like a Crack" that feels like a soft V6. If you continue with right hand up in corner to the undercling/sidepull flake and then bumping to the ledge of "Fiend it Like a Crack" that feels like proper V7 or hard V6.

I think it is correct to call it two different variations, since they are not sharing any single move (except of starting holds and finish on "Fiend it Like a Crack"). Apr 24, 2021

[Hide Comment] It's just a beta route(all in the footwork really) and feels pretty casual once dialed. If this is v6 feel the pinch is for sure like v7/8... or feel the pinch is actually a v6/7 and this is v4+. Again and again I can do this usually first try in a session and almost never can do feel the pinch, maybe I just need better pinch beta probably grades are whack. Sit start to this is quite hard tho Sep 18, 2022
