pheney: Hi foot -
Noah: High good foot knocks the grade down. True V6 lies in a lower foot start that leads to actual stemming

Pretty fun but kinda didn't stem at all -
Easier when you can just stand and reach the lip
-
-
Good conditions made the difference -
-
Book doesnt specify feet, only hand holds. Went for the high foot beta from other peoples videos.
-
-
2nd go, low foot, gaston right

Nice evening out with zz!
-
Feels soft for V6. Started with the low foot, definitely feels invalid if you pad stack and start with the higher foot as that skips the crux move -

Very techy. Beautiful feature! Used the low foot. -
-
Sent this one within an hour.. Kinda confused cause this wasnt even the first session of the day climbing. lol 5 or 6? no clue -
Oh boy did this not fit me -

2023-07-30Party trick! V cool though! So close on the flash
-
-
Worked the moves for a while the other day (jake sent, will and John hanging out) then did it first try today (solo sesh). First moves feels easy if your shoulder is fresh and very hard it not. Other than that, you can get by with activating zero muscles if you know your foot beta. Book grade, but I would've believed anything down to 3. Slabs are hard
-
High foot way, still felt hard. Later moves were harder for me than the first move, but that could have been the 85 degree day and high humidity. -

Really nice dihedral -
Beautiful dihedral. Fighting back against the downgrade.
-
Quite nice! May be more interesting/ more challenging if youre shorter. I reached through most moves. I liked it. -

Didn't use high foot start
-
-
2nd go, with a little pad help, removed the pad and sent again -
first flash of the grade, used high foot as that appeared to be the obvious choice. Perhaps will go back to try with the low foot option.
-
-
Should have flashed but my foot work beta was questionable. Repeated it right away after first sending. A great climb!
-
Failed to pull off the ground, then did the whole problem.. so.. flash? -
I could see how this could be tough if you were short and/or inflexible, but if you are taller and stretchy it's definitely soft for the grade... That being said I was definitely terrified my left toe was gonna blow off and I would scrape all the skin off my knee -
-
Awkward -
Started it with high left foot. Will try again with lower foot someday. -

Definitely a softie, especially if you use the high foot, still fun moves -
with the high foot.
-
Amazing corner feature. Psyched on the flash! -
Low foot. 2nd try. V4 seems about right. -
Core workout. Unique beta for Squamish -
Technical climb, not as physically strenuous. Day flashed it after figuring out beta the last time I visited! -
-
-
-
Interesting stem. -
-
2021-05-29Low foot (but for hip mobility reasons)
-
2021-05-29Low left foot for my first V6 -
2021-05-25
-
This climb is aptly named as I had no confidence I could send until I watched a beta video.
-
-
Full value for the shorties! Don’t cheat yourself by starting with the high left foot- moving your feet up is the crux -
-
We walked up to the Boulder not knowing the beta, the high foot seemed like the most obvious way to climb it so we used it. I now see it’s V6 if you eliminate the most obvious foot to climb the Boulder? Personal grade would be probably V3 but I could see it being tricky for people with not so good hip mobility. Bouldering is weird 🤷🏻♂️

Used the low foot because my hip opening sucks; being able to reach the sloper at the lip with that foot really helped though! -

Used the low foot start. Left pinky really took the brunt of it.
-
Tricky but very interesting line. Trust in the crystals! -

Second* try today! -
Did with high foot start, will probably repeat it at some point with intended start -
Got it 2nd try! First outdoor V6!
-
-
beep boop tammi was watching
-
Really cool line! -
-
Used the low foot -
Left hand side pull, right hand Gaston, this is the intended beta which definitely makes this a V6 climb. I would advice not using the high foot beta because you'll miss out on what a spectacular climb this is, and you'll experience the 'Sea of Doubt'. -
2019-09-03Used good high foot to start. Makes it way easier and not a V6. Couldn’t do with low foot.

I'm guessing the beta of starting with a high left toe makes this pretty soft, and allows you to avoid the original hard stemming back step. -
-
-
2019-08-10The start was easier with the high left foot! Happy with the send during Rampage - first of the grade!

Flexible hip helps alot. Trust the foot -
A fun stemmy short problem. Hardest part is getting off the ground. Likely easier if you're very tall as you can skip the middle moves and reach the lip

2018-08-24Super insanely high step. Being tall and flexible makes it easier. I thought I was cheating the start until I saw videos of others doing it the same way. A sit to this would be an absurd project. -
All about the beta
-
feels like v3 if you use high foot chip -
Finally! Used the “lower” foot and had to throw for the top -
Techy and crimpy. Hip and shoulder flexibiitymay be helpful. I did not have it. Relied on pulling hard.
-
Seriously doubted the high foot... -
cool little dihedral -
-
-
2018-05-24 -
I started with a high foot but it still felt 6 to me.
-
This would be much harder if I were any shorter. Had to spider fingers to the lip... Interesting problem though.
-
Like this one -

First 6! Didn't use any high step to start. Would maybe give 3.5 stars

Well it has some nifty moves, but as a taller dude I kept my foot on the same hold for the entire boulder until a little lerp to the lip. -
-
Pretty rad movement. -
So hard until it's not. I saw a video of someone starting from the boulder behind. Start from the ground for a better climb!
-
Hard to grade this one... seemed quite difficult at first, and then fairly easy. -
-
-
2016-07-22fun dihedral
-
Finding this one hard to grade. But i think 5 is a worthy number. Very fun!
-
-
Second try. Fun.

2015-06-04Great problem that I think does not get climbed as much as it should. Techy dihedral. Might be V2
-
I had a hard time believing this was V6...
-
I think this is a fun, hidden little gem of a climb. Really unique for Squamish boulders -
Found the right foot work to fight the barndoor. -
great little 7a problem (not in the guide book) just behind Mantra, on a interesting dihedral type feature with intricate moves....
-
-
2011-07-19super fun, sort of awkward climbing on an interesting feature!
-
Corner problem left of the crack traverse in Titanic North. EDIT: im pretty psyched that the name Sea of Doubt stuck.
