very cool, great pics.

how many sessions did you work on it?

[subtle plague]

About 4 sessions. First session was just earning Beta. In the second I actually tried to start linking stuff.

The sit adds another 4 moves about 6b+/6c (v5?) ish but makes your Fingers a lot greasier for the small slopy crimps of the Crux. It's very technical and friction depending. And yet the boulder Crux has two very powerful moves. The one with the right Hand to where I am in pic 2 and the long bump to the good crimp further up right which involves cutting your left hook loose very slowly, placing your left tip a lot closer to your body and then going full on beast. You can see the last tick Mark. But you can't rush it because any swing while Lifting the hook and you can't stay on the Rock.

That was cool, nice line! Do you ever wonder if a little gentle landscaping up top could keep the water running to the right place? Also - are there rock climbs there or is it all choss? Thanks for sharing that.

Thanks!

That's a crazy idea and I hadn't thought of it. I don't think that would be allowed. You're not even allowed to drytool there because they are worried about damage to some sort of endangered and/or endemic plants (I guess ice climbing is ok because you're not destroying as much). It's all choss, so even if it were allowed, nobody would want to rock climb there.

One interesting thing is that people say that the climbs came in fatter before a house was built on top of the cliff. That might be true, but I think it has more to do with warming winters. It's like 50 degrees out today.

This is kinda cool, saw it on Paul Robinson's instagram. Repeating a John Sherman classic in Hueco with Verm himself present. Dude is a legend and Robinson is a badass boulderer for sure.

That was pretty cool, that is! I used to run all over the Aeolian Buttes looking for his problems. Found a few and a couple high balls with a little success but mostly just in awe of his accomplishments. I had better luck seeing some sage sparrows!! Long live The Verm

i’m in mexico city and got hooked up with a stellar guide. he picked me up, took me to the local crag he’s developing with 8-13+ and handed me a rack. I got 8 5.10’s in at 10k elevation, pretty stoked for a first day of climbing in 22. i was shredded and falling all over the place going for my 9th lead (was an 11). such a great spot above the pollution and in the woods.









if anyone wants a rec when they head down here pm me.

eta: do you all size up a bit for high elevation or warm temps? my feet are wrecked and i’ve had my shoes forever.

Damn that looks cool - especially that 10c, with 6 pitches that are 5.10 or harder. FKNA!
