    A worthy variation of In the Dust of This Planet. Not sure what the crux is, it may be the moves before the big move to the jug.

    Easier if you are taller. Nice vision Christian

    It's hard for me to encapsulate how much this climb means to me. I broke and severely injured ligaments in my ankle 8 months ago while falling off the crazy all points off sideways dyno. Today was my first day back on the problem since then. The landing was quite a bit safer because of lingering snow and after remembering the beta and getting past my demons, I finally stuck 'the move' from the start. I know my ankle will never be the same, but I'm also skiing and climbing the best that I ever have. It's a beautiful line on perfect rock with the craziest move I have ever done. I can imagine that it might feel v8 if you're tall because you may be able to do the crux move without jumping, but it felt every bit of v9 to me. No matter the grade, this climb is so much more to me. Sometimes you have to let go in order to hold on.
