Zach Y: First off, every video I have seen of people calling this an 8 are doing it with the far right heel and no sit start. Sit start with the close heel felt like no problem at all. Definitely think it's easier, even if you're tall. Sit start with a left foot on a really good little spike way underneath, right heel just wherever on the right hand hold ledge. Go right hand up to the crimp, then switch the left foot to a toehook on the kind of spike straight down from the crimps to bring the left hand in. Then go left hand up to the good spot, take out the toe hook and put the left foot on the good spot low on the face. Keep the right heel, but bring it out to where you started with your right hand so you can sit high on it with your hips high and close to the rock. Then locking off and going right hand to the slot is pretty casual and the top is over from there. -
Lena laitinen: Pull up into a left toehook, and then place the right heel. Dicked around with the closer heel for 1000 years prior to trying this. -
Alan Ly: Don't cheat the start by crouching with the toe hook on, instead of sitting down. -
crystalshei: right toe around on the big heel hook ledge to get the big left hand move
-
Greg Bauch: Use a left toe to stabilize yourself for the first match. -
wendy l.: I start with my heel up and a left foot smear on the wall. It's a pretty straight forward climb the rest of the way up. The left hand lock-off with the right heel still positioned on the start is hard and technical if you are short. I'm only 5'3" and I'm able to reach it with focused positioning of my left hand and a pulled in right heel.
-
andrewstaal: Fell on the first try because I needed to aim at that slot with my back 3 fingers.

2025-01-231 session. Sit start version. I remember trying two years ago for a few minutes but leaving because I could not understand how to get off the ground. I found this surprisingly good for mid-low skin. Less about crystal squeezing and more about strength and body position.
-
Did the proper sit and still felt pretty easy. Easier than any other 7 I've tried so I'm gonna give it a 6 -
-
2024-09-10Tried in 2014, and then again in 2024 and finally it went. Left toe hook worked well.
-
should of flashed but didnt know top out beta
-
-
Fun climb, blew the flash go like a dum dum -
Great climb! -
Took a few tries to figure out the subtleties of the first few moves but climbed really well once put together
-
Not bad in heat. Low end V7 from sit, closer to V5 (and more enjoyable) from crouch -

Sit start, warm up, 2 tries

Crux was squishing my fingers into that cursed slot.. Fun movement though and nice rock. Sit start -
2024-05-03switched to the sit start beta. It felt harder, but higher percentage. -

2024-02-18first hard thing I ever touched out Squamish way, a nice little marker to say maybe just maybe im almost a boulderer.

-
2023-11-24 -
Felt pretty straightforward once I figured out the heel placement. Definitely my style.
-
2023-09-22

I started croutched rather than seated, a better climb in my opinion with the far right heel, so it felt more like a hard v6/soft v7.
-
No skin desperation send.
-
Kinda soft for the "grade" but nice moves overall
-
-

Mega group smash day -
No flashies :(

2nd go afr slipping and smashing the daylights out of my knee fml -
Seems rare for squamish variants to be so similar to each other but definitely is a different start, basically this way eliminated a couple moves because I could Start with the toe. Both Are so good and I just had to stack some v’s
-
crouch start not the true sit. Do I care? No this climb is amazing the way I did it (and seemingly everyone else does it).

We take those guidebook sevens. Dopest boulder in murrin.
-
Super fun. Did it sitting, no far right heel -
-
sit -
Stoked to take this down first session back with the proper sit start.
-
There was no action and I never went missing mega soft and I'm not a sandbag climber.

2023-05-10nice Hail Mary send on my last day. first 7 in a day. Proper sit start -

Really fun climb. I used the high right heel!
-
2022-11-12Hard to fit my cubby fingers in the slot
-
-
2022-10-10Second go -
-
Always thought this looked super fun, and it was!
-
Crux is starting as a true sit start and then sticking the first move. Fun climb. -
Maybe it’s just me but that right hand incut feels made for blowing tendons.
-
Cool looking rock
-
-
-
Finally!! A nemesis from last season. Such a sweet line! Refused to start crouched, so I could fire the whole boulder from the second hold on repeat until I eventually found a way to make the first move from a sit; pretty stoked!
-
This has been a long project for me. Proud send. -
2022-08-06 -
How majestic looking! The whole sit start controversy of this climb is silly, it feels the same difficulty both ways.
-
Was trying the climb with the far right heel but was lectured on the sit start so had to change my beta. Turned out to be an easier start for my size! So thanks, I guess? -
start avec talon droit, pas facile d'atteindre la prise au centre -
-
I’ve heard a lot about people not doing a sit down start for this. So I made it an effort to start with my butt on the ground so I wouldn’t get in trouble hahah either way, great boulder with fun moves and a sic toe hook. -
-
2022-06-18 -
2nd go. -
Sick! Full package -
Quite a reach to that slot. -
-
2022-05-24Had a hard time getting to the crimp sidepull. Tried for awhile with a heel and then went with a toe instead! Fun climb. -
It was hard until I remembered how to heel hook
-
Really fun line! I can see why it’s a classic to this area. First time climbing in Murrin. -

Committed to the tucked heel beta and a high right toe. Always put this one off at too hard cause of my height Got goosebumps on the top out haha. Stoked!

Need to hit that slot just right!
-
-
Maybe 10g total - 2 sesssions. Did proper SDS (no squat - high heel funny business) -
Even the greasy heel hook rails stick better in squamish. 1 session. -

Taking the guidebook grade 😅 but whatever the grade, awesome line -

All about that hip placement

-
-
Totally botched the topout -
-
2020-10-27

My sausage fingers do not fit in the slot all that great. -
more finicky than I hoped, but it did feel good to finally out wrestle this pebble. 5-6 sessions, FotG -
2020-10-06 -
-
Do I just have small fingers, or did this feel too easy... Should be top 100 tho -
fun -
-
-
-
First move crux, rest of the climb went easily. Went with V8 just because that's what the guidebook is. -

These holds are too good to be true. Super fun though! -
-
2019-11-113-4 attempts .. the holds seem super positive for a V7 (V8 in the guidebook).
-
2019-11-032nd go -
I like when Squamish boulders have holds. -
-

Only hard move was the first one for me. The rest felt like v4ish. Third go!!

2nd try. V6/V7.
-
-
-
Very nice.
-
Mega fun. Have to go back for the variation now
-
Felt too soft for a V8, like the guidebook says. Still fun though. -
-

5 sessions... Finally... That damn starting heel..... First v7/8
-
Worked out the moves a couple days ago but ran out of gas for the send. Came back today and sent first go! Great problem but I think Reaction is actually a lot more fun.
-
More overhang than I thought! Fun one with a nasty right crimp. -
-
Wasn't able to do the heel hook start so I started super stretched with a toehook. Pretty neat. -
-
Taking the book grade for this one! Fun, powerful moves
-
-
2019-03-19Felt more like a v5/6 but it was still a really fun climb
-
Fun problem
-
-
v8 if you sit start. I see lots of people placing the heel and skipping the sit. Their loss imo -
2018-12-20
-
-
-
-
I did this with a crouch start and a heel which felt about v7.
-
2018-09-10A little sharp on that sidepull.
-
-
just believe in the heel hook
-
-
Dislike the first half of this problem. The right hand crimp sidepull is awesome though
-
V8 in the book, but was relatively easy with beta.
-
-
Not sure if this is a 1 star or 5 star problem so I'm giving it 3 stars. -

Embrace the scruntchyness.

Soft for the grade but has some nice moves. Accessible.
-
-
Nice to be sending at this level, even with finger injuries -
-
Guide books is calling it a V8 so I will take it haha But really its easier

Needed to squeeze really hard with the heel for the first move. Difficulty tapered off after that.

Very fun, but definitely not V8.
-
-
Hard first move.
-
Fun problem, definitely going to have to go with V7, not V8 like the book says.
-
Starting toe hook worked really well -
First V7, in my style. Awesome climb.
-
2014-10-07Enjoyable climb -

First move took a bunch of tries to get the feel of it. Once sorted it came together a couple tries later. Would have been nice if I had a spotter for the top out...

not too hard if ur good at crimping -
2013-06-19

Hard for me as i can't get right hand into slot... had to crimp the sharp edge. Got it second go today :)
-
Decent problem. I was confused about how to start the other one.

Took me a second session to send this after falling off the easy mantle last week on my last go. Seems soft for the grade, but I havent climbed enough v8's to say for sure -
-
lots of great moves. pleading the 5th and going with the guidebook grade.
-
super soft. fun climb though.
-
2011-06-28Nice problem -
-
It was a nice confidence booster
-
a little soft in the grade, but overall quality problem...

Good one
-
-
says v8 in the guidebook, climbed it quickly in one session, easy but fun!
-
-
-
-
Definitely easier than top 💯 v8 in grand wall area. But to be honest, comparing these two and Gibbs' cave, Idk. But this one feels even easier to the left one, I think.
