Out of Sight – V10


FA: Justin Wotherspoon - 2023-07-19

Description:

sit start a few meters to the right of Peripheral Vision past the huge, sharp hole outside of the dihedral with two hands anywhere under the smaller pocket (FA used a good, right-facing pockety crimp on the right and a sloping gaston for the left hand), traverse left through some decent holds into PV.

note: there are two sketchy choss blocks that are out. one small one at the start position and one larger one on the outside of the dihedral's right arete.

    cool addition from Justin! (trav entrance to the "peripheral vision" dihedral) some funky moves and tricky sequencing to get established on 2 pockets of the stand. I did a bit different beta to Justin which I feel is significantly easier. First try today, hadn't tried it in quite a while and my finger went numb for an expected period after pulling on the pocket

    back in october of 2022, i climbed Peripheral Vision V6/7/8. it's such a unique problem for the glen and it doesn't get much love for some reason; i couldn't help but feel that this two-move wonder of a problem deserved an extension to make those two moves feel more significant. i immediately found a line that looked promising and, over the next few sessions, i worked out the sequence and figured it would go with enough effort. i think i dragged emmett to this boulder at least ten times since then and i want to thank him specifically for being so patient and supportive while i fell off the same mono / toe-hook sequence time after time. with some serious training, perseverance, and the support of many homies and pads, i dialed in the sequence and found some microbeta. by mid-may, i was consistently day-flashing PV as a warm up and felt that the extension might go any session but then pulled on the mono a bit weird and strained my lumbrical. i took a month off of the project to rest it and did daily recruitment pulls to gain back the mind/body connection and confidence to try again. this past wednesday night, i headed to the glen after work for the third session back on it post-strain armed with the mega-psyched support crew of em, leo, nasif, and alan. skin was shit, conditions were shit, but psych was through the roof. i cruised smoothly through the V5/6 intro section of the problem and then yelled my way through the crux sequence but punted the PV dihedral move. being that close made me engage full try-hard mode and, despite the attempt being one of my sloppiest attempts so far, i pulled it out of the bag. it felt like i was dreaming as i overshot and then grabbed the crimp in the dihedral and then locked off up to the flat jug above. i think this problem goes at around V9/10; i'm fairly certain there's slightly easier beta than what i did but i'm taking V10 for my send specifically. i haven't climbed any other V10s, but i tried far harder on this than anything else i've ever climbed and i'd consider it mostly my style. i'm so psyched to see other people give this a go, find alternate beta, and make me look like an absolute psychopath for using the mono. 😂 oh and shout out to emmett for coming up with the name.
