Vorpal Blade – V9
Description:
New beta was found that is significantly easier. This is why the grade has changed so much
Stand Start to the left of Knife Fight. Locate a higher left crimp pinch and lower right crimp pinch. Bust up and work through a couple okay holds and enter a shutdown iron cross move to a crimp. End with a hard tension move to the lip. Finish as per Deep Dark Cut topout, which is following the arete left and onto the second tier landing zone and mantle around the corner.

2023-10-04First go since trying the OG beta 2 years ago! Very cool pinches into a fantastic dynamic move to the fin and a fun wandering top out. Easiest of the 9s this trip for me personally. And talked with another couple buddies that thought probably 8. I think consensus will settle there -
2023-05-12A relatively quick ascent after figuring out my beta. Perfect rock and really cool holds. After punting the topout while it started to rain I waited for my window of opportunity to get a second chance up there. I realized I couldnt wait too long because a big downpour was coming in and I only had a few minutes before the entire top would be drenched so I went for it and happily found myself standing on the top. This line was originally put up at a v11 but with my reach I was able to skip a shouldery crux and go straight to the arete. This made it feel on par with the other v9s in the area -
2022-09-04~5 goes. The start pinches are surreal! 6-8mm with perfect thumb catches. The low looks crazy hard.
