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

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.
