[Hide Comment] Ben Young I did it from a stand back in the fall 2020. Starting 1 move in from you, with the left hand. But instead of throwing out right to that sloper rail, I went straight up through the crack feature. It was basically two moves and then over, and since I wasn't strong enough to do the lower start like you did, I never posted it. Your version looks way better. Don't know of any previous ascents since I wasn't in this area during the Morgan days. Apr 9, 2021

[Hide Comment] Sick Dave! there’s several betas for the top out and all of them r super fun and they all feel about the same difficulty to me. Now that I think about it this thing has definitely been done before. May 8, 2021

[Hide Comment] A relatively short, but classy boulder. The crux for me was pulling onto the start haha. Here is a video of my send, with a basic overview of the holds at the end: youtu.be/iRpO6Dvhhq4 Jun 6, 2022

Amazing boulder, figuring out the feet was the crux for me. First move felt impossible, then I was sticking it every time when I got the feet sorted. High quality rock and fun moves. Jun 28, 2022
[Hide Comment] Such a sick climb! Can't wait to try the V6-7 variant when I head back: youtube.com/shorts/HwTtH7_Bf2U Nov 12, 2024
