Description
This is a link-up, but it's full value endurance crimping, so I thought it was worthy of posting!
Climb the first 5 bolts of Crystal Ball, stay below the bolt and traverse right on small crimps and bad foot holds, reversing Cut Deep’s traverse, to arrive at the upper crux of BDTH. Crimp hard and hold it together to get through the upper crux of Burning Down the Haus.
While none of the climbing on this is new, it does create a very long and sustained section of climbing without any good rests, which I thought was pretty cool.
As for rating, maybe a "fitness 13d" rating is what I would give it, since nothing on the route is that cruxy, it just gets pumpy. Maybe a similar grade to Aquadarius, for anyone that knows that route.
