New Dimensions
Apr 15, 2024 · TR. TRS. First pitch super great and engaging. Second pitch TOUGH chimney, fell a few times. Went left side in first, ended up flipping around for right side in to finish, felt a little better that way? Playing around with the double cracks after that was tough. The flared OW pitch was tough but not so bad. Right arm chicken wing in order to get yourself up and in it, it climbed exactly like the top of the PG squeeze OW where you have an okay hand/fist jam in the back of the flare and you’re using the climbing starfish motion to advance. Pretty sure I was right side in, felt good. Last pitch was so hard, fell a lot of times, finally got in the groove near the top and jammed my left foot in while pasting my right foot on the right face of the dihedral underneath my center of mass. It’s this combo of liebacking, overhang, thin hands and ring locks, and the weird nature of the dihedral/chimney that make it really hard to fit both of your shoulders in to jam both hands. Most of the time I was left hand thumbs up and right hand thumbs down, shuffling up or crossing over as it seemed appropriate. Finding little edges on the right (either in or outside of the dihedral) kind of helped, but they are easy to miss because you’re so desperate up there.

Butterfingers
Apr 15, 2024 · TR. TRS after butterballs. One take. Excellent stuff. Bring greens and purples and reds for the top, it’s tough up there with all the pump

Apr 15, 2024 · TR. TRS after Waverly wafer. 1 take, maybe 2. Quite nice. Big beefy meathooks at the top.

Waverly Wafer
Apr 15, 2024 · TR. TRS linked with butterballs and butterfingers. Really fucking hard. The off-fists into the overhanging off-fingers was really really hard. Many takes. Key was to keep right side in and keep working feet to find something stable enough to press/smear left hand against left wall and bring right arm up into better jams. Need to trust the invisible feet in this section in order to get past the bulge. Could you knee-bar rest in that big pod before the overhanging off-fingers section?
