Resident evil – V9

Description:

One of the greats at Area 51, and not to be missed if you're climbing at this level.

Start on the small holds to the right of Black Lung and bump right into the horizontal crack (the big jug on the far right side of the crack is off apparently, and knocks the grade down a bit if you care about that sort of thing). Make a big move up to the sharp crimps above and then make a pretty desperate move to the 'starfish' at the top.

The crux for me was either campusing or using a funky heel hook to match in the crack, although the deadpoints at the top are troublesome for others.

    From the proper low start. Third try after doing the stand. Exquisite climb.

    Felt quite a bit easier than all the other double digit climbs I've tried here in Joe's. Starting from the original low crimps as it should be.

    Nice to come back and not have the worst dry fire of my life off the start holds
