Description:

This line is on the big triangle higball boulder. Start at the bottom left on some nice edges and traverse right along a slopey rail. Head straight up using pockets and small crimps to get to some better holds around mid height. Follow the obvious weakness up and right to a mini peak on the arete. You can run down the slab from here, or venture up and left to the very top.

The sloper rail didn't feel so bad after I got my heel placement sorted.

2nd try :(. Climbed to the jug and down climbed. Then I repeated with the full top out 🥵.

Great line with a lot of variation. Sloper rail, pockets, crimps and edges... tall finish!

Once I got my beta sorted, this flowed and felt amazing. One of my favourite climbing experiences. Would've been even better if I had the courage to do the full top, but still such a proud line

Proud to get this one. There was a time not so long ago I thought I would maybe never send this stunning bloc.

Another case of downgrade once conditions got better. Named promptly as photos of this climb were the catalyst that sparked an influx of psyche to this area this year. Definitely recommend climbing to the the top as it is very satisfying. Practicing on Gom Jabbar first if youre not confident is recommended. It climbs better to not pad the beginning traverse and just dial the moves in first so as to not dab for sending. Felt awkward when working it out but ended up finding that flow and really liked it,

Not sure about the grade as I don't think I have tried a 10. 9 seems fair- also first of the grade haha

Great line felt way better on this then squeezing in silence. Also finished at the top of the Boulder instead of ducking right to the slab early seemed more logical and surprisingly less scary

Great climb on an aesthetic face! Hard to grade. Great temps seemed to really help. Edit: went back and climbed the upper slab to the top of the boulder. Basically linked Catalyst into Step into Madness.

Pretty fun moves, hard to say on the difficulty since I think colder temps would make it feel a lot better (sent in like 30 degree weather).

Super aesthetic line! Tall, but the hard part is done around mid-height.
