A Bold New Plan – 5.11a
25m / 82ft, 8 bolts
Description:
The must-do route at White Imperialist. This route starts off with a short traverse to a good rest. Pumpy climbing on big holds and awesome jugs leads to the anchor. Stick clip the first bolt, and back clean it to reduce rope drag.

Polished feet on the slab almost cost me the flash. So many holds it's hard to find the right ones to shake out.

Weird start, but one of the best 11's in the valley. -
2023-09-16Never been so close to puking on a climb

Puuuumpy -

Grabbed all the wrong greasy holds to make things more interesting. Best 11 at Grassi. Get on it! -

First 11a flash! Amazing route. Was quite gusty and fun exposure. -
Fun route! Very pumpy for the grade wow! Just keep moving and holding on somehow. Was in the zone if I’m not sure how I’m still holding on for a while! Tough for grade

My first 11a redpoint back in the day. Did it again, still a pumpfest! Still excellent.
-
2016-09-05I finished the 12a direct variation before doing the alternate non direct start... The direct is better than the weird back cleaning mess that is the original start. Far less polished as well... -
-
Stoked to get my first 11a onsight. Amazing pumpy line. -
Awesome route! So pumpy!
-
Great climb. Great fun
-
Fight the pump to the top

Biggest holds ever. But I could barely feel my hands! Brrrr too cold. Finished up the day not long after :( -
i would have probably enjoyed the climbing more if I could have felt any of the jugs. Too cold :( -
-
Pretty good except for the awkward and polished start -
-

Great sustained climbing on slightly overhanging rock. HUGE holds. Stick clip the first bolt if you are not comfortable on the grade. -
