Description
Steep and dynamic with really nice holds low, technical up high.
First section comes down to three huge moves and some high tension setup between each. The hardest of these can succumb to static beta, heel hooks and heinous tension, or a dyno. Much easier beta has emerged since the FA. A cruisy section with not quite any real rest leads into a thinly featured, doubly overhanging open book left of the blank black prow. Palm hard. Insecure but very satisfying to puzzle through. Get pumped from head to toe, somehow.
Make sure your warmup covers all the bases: fingers, hips, and shoulders. Time will tell if it's actually this hard, but it should offer a well-rounded challenge.
