So psyched to send my first 5.13! Was feeling frustrated on Sphinx and found a side project to work on. It went from feeling impossible to becoming a route I really enjoy. The more I try it, the easier the moves feel. I don't know how many times I fell on that thumb catch, but I'm glad I don't have to do it anymore! Back to back send w/ tadashi

👍 Great route! Way easier than sphinx for me but I found some locker beta.

This wall just keeps on giving! The more routes I do on this wall the more psyched I am to get back on it. Routes with weird and delicate sequences that feel incrementally easier everytime you do them are my favourite kind and this wall has plenty of them ! Can't wait to get back here.

Felt the same as Sphinx, maybe with slightly better rests. Re-torqued all the bolts, whip away folks

Great line! Good mix of power and technic down low to an excellent finish.

Feels harder than 13a without the jug that broke off. Great technical climbing on small holds. Sent between the jug breaking off and the bolt being moved allowing the new beta

Took me more tries than I'd like to admit. Great technical climbing that is unforgiving if you miss a foot or lose that tension, got to keep tight! Sent it after the big hold broke down low which I think makes it slightly more difficult.

Great climb bolted by Dexter. The route climbs amazing rock up the center of university wall. Multiple cruxes on mostly small crimps and pockets are separated by rests.
