pretty fun addition to bold new plan, can be a bit confusing with all the lines in the section

My first 12a! The route is getting more fun because of the start boulder problem. Back to back send with yoshi!

The intro boulder isn't particularly interesting but adds a bit more excitement

Sick boulder problem made easy with cheeky heel and toe hooks, no harder than v3. Edit 2025 - retried the boulder and it is definitely v4/5

Second attempt. A crimpy move pulling through the roof down low and then a good pump on a bold new plan.

Thanks Duncan for being patient as I worked out the boulder. Took me a bunch of bunch of short tries to get the first boulder, and then enjoy the pumpy, juggy climbing above ! Definitely stick clip the first bolt. First time getting a 12a in one session.

I thought it was a great way to start one of my favourite 11a’s in Canada. Double Mantel ! Minus 1 point for being an eliminate, eliminating all of the 11a’s holds and feet.

Slipped off the seeping wet start jug, lowered and sent, what a turd. Do not recommend. Bring a stick clip.

Went first go once I had figure out the bottom beta. Involved weird foot hooks/cams in the starting holds. The direct is much better than the non direct start... Not too sure about the grade since it's essentially a V3 into a no hands rest into a 11a?

Hard boulder problem into a no hands rest into the classic 5.11a climb. Way better 12a's at Grassi, this was the last of them for me.
