2023-11-26Awesome line. Climbed ADATO to the double knee bar and then traversed immediately left into pushers. Climbed the crux of pushers into the garden rest and through to the end. So much climbing. The “link-up” factor didn’t take away from the experience at all. The traverse into pushers was technical and fun. The level of fatigue after climbing ADATO to the DKB was surprising. I think that climbing pushers while more fatigued from ADATO really added to the experience and grade. I think this is much more sustained than Dino with harder climbing. If Northern Man were an independent line I really think it would have retained its original 14a grade. Most people climbing Northern Man have their eye on ADATO and have likely done pushers multiple times as well. I think this results in an underestimation of the level of difficulty. Regardless of grade it’s an excellent climb. Happy to get such a late-season send.

2023-07-11Nice to finally send something on the ADATO line. Came fairly quickly after re-acquainting myself with the ADATO roof, but I still managed to punt a few times on Pushers... embarrassing, but that's what you get when you never train aero cap and boulder (sometimes on a rope) most of the year. I was thinking this could be 13c, but I think that it's at least as hard as Dino? The last bit of climbing is much easier, but the rests all along are much worse so the fatigue builds in a way that it doesn't with Dino. Taking soft 13d for now, might change later. -
2020-09-15Climbed to the DKB, did the next few moves of ADATO then busted left to finish on pushers. Thought this was harder than Dino -
2019-05-27Kind of silly that you have to down climb... This is 13d in my opinion, especially if people think Dyno is 13d. I think it would be 14a if you climbed the next crux of ADATO then went left into Pushers at the garden (skipping the last crux, the "redpoint crux", of ADATO).
