Happy to be back to where I was before my shoulder surgery. Feels low end V8, maybe even a low V7

First of the grade for me! Great line on a great Boulder. Was skeptical I would be able to work it due to an ongoing left ankle injury but found a heel placement on the start that worked. Took a few sessions to link everything together but it went quick today, 2nd go after getting Evil Empire.

Tried this thing last year and struggled to even do one or two moves. Came back this year and things felt better. Sus'd out my beta, made some adjustments, and bam first pull from the ground on a solo sesh. Way higher quality than the stand. Definitely soft for the grade.

Fourth day on, twenty minutes before we had to leave. Absolutely stellar line, so far one of my favourites in the fields

Had to find new beta cause I couldn’t make the tight right heel work. Used a really far right heel. Probably only for someone 6 foot plus at least. Didn’t like as much as big crimpin but glad it’s done.

Second go on this, psyched. Great group and energy!

Pretty cool, second attempt of the day. The right hand-heel match is very hard for the flexibly challenged (and for taller folks, so I hear). Still felt on the lower end of the grade, but idk if I'd put it into the 7 range. I think it should be mentioned that the low bloc below the cave is detached and out. Would make placing the right heel so much easier.

Excellent boulder with some nice heel hooks and a jump to a good hold at the lip. I'm not sure how this gets the same grade as 'The Guardian'. Personally found this quite soft
