Young Muscle – V9

Description:

From the Greater Victoria Bouldering Guide: This line is a power endurance monster, with a heartbreaking finish. Start sitting on the far right side of the cave with right hand on the sloping ledge below the staircase block, opposing with a left crimp under the roof and traverse the entire face of the cave, across the flakes, and into Atlas to “top out” on the ledge at the far left. No stopper moves, just lots of hard ones stacked on top of each other.

    So psyched to pull this one off post break. Significantly harder and a bit worse since the jug broke. Used the Sam beta. **Original Ascent 8/14/2018**:Many goes! Stoked to have this thing locked in now. I feel like it’s super soft but also it is a V8 into non negligibly difficult climbing. Its definitely harder than V8 but more like a sport climb than a V9.

    Apparently one of the “it’s not over till it’s over” lines. Such cool movement on the first half! Had to get some kneebar action going to rest up before the Atlas exit.

    Nice to finally get this one done, after trying it a few times a year for a few years. I think I sent today because the jug slots were the driest I've seen them in a while. I think since the jug is gone solid V9 or 13b/c makes sense

    Felt solid at v9 for me, I guess without the huge jug in the middle it’s harder now?

    Definitely on the lower end of V9 if you have good endurance. Once you figure the sequence out it doesn't seem too bad.
