Description

*Holds (including the start holds) were broken on The Avenger in late January 2024. The boulder is significantly harder due to the breaks and has not been sent since the holds were broken.

Stand start to the Avenger - one of the rare climbs where the stand is harder than the sit. Start on two obvious crimps right next to each other (first left hand you go to from the low). Move up to jug. I think I may have just used bad beta, going left hand to the heinously small crimp and then making HARD move to the right hand crimp edge. Potentially easier if you use the same beta I used coming from the low. Either way, my potentially bad beta is a helluva test piece.
