Worm World Cave – V9 ↓
Description:
Start in the middle of the overhang. Right hand on decent pinch and left hand on a flat edge. Big first move to a crescent-shaped edge then an intricate top-out.
Show Beta
-
Namgiao Le: Go directly from the pinch match to the meat hook. -
Samuel Martin: if you're tall, start with the low foot out left. Some core tension and length makes the first move easy. -
Zach Y: Put a left foot in the good spot and right toe pressing around the arete to keep the feet on when hitting the first move. Move out to the fin was the crux for me, but getting a left foot on the right starting hand made it possible. -
Aidan Pinsk: Imagining "squeeze and pull up" helped me stick the first move -
wongjonsilver: Left hand heel match to start
-
marcosanelli: Used the right heel and double right hand bump start instead of the desperate left deadpoint. -
Tiffany Melius: Get the toe hook real good., keep weight right to start and counteract the swing.
-
tristanwilliamploughman: Most people go left to the crimp rail, I start with a right heel hook instead and go right hand to a poor pinch then bump into the rail and match. This method offers far more control but the match is very hard, heel does not like to stay. Make sure you get the pinch past the crimper high and don't underestimate the move off to the fin.

Fun, tricky first moonboard move, but the crux for me was latching the left fin with a high left toe
-
First move is pretty superb.
-
-
All time! This was my main hope for this trip so everything else is a bonus! Strained hip flexor be damned, I’m going to squam!
-
-
-
Mega classic, I’d give it 5 stars except the low looks like it climbs even better -
first day in squam hit the yee yee moon board moves
-
So many ways to do the first move. Opted for the left foot on the big hold at the bottom left side and did it without cutting feet. This beta worked best for me. Maybe one I’ll do the jump beta. Really fun movements! -
-
-
-
Fun climb with a first move crux that feels very board climb.
-
After years of not understanding move #1 I FINALLY found a way that works for me. Very satisfying!
-
-
Went to the top first time I stuck the first move, good fun!

Send train with Cody as it started to rain -

Goal of the trip to start probably my best single day of climbing ever. Squamish in late November is magic for friction. I start with a high left foot to do this problem, surprised I rarely see people use that foot option.

Classic

like half of squamish, i too have climbed this boulder. classic
-
One of the best I've ever done. Great crew here in Squamish!
-
Dream stand start. Sickening feature. Managed it 3rd go after being inspired by Kabir’s flash -
What a beautiful line. Psyched for the low! -
As good as it gets. Shade rigging for the win
-
So good!! -
-
-
-
Took me longer than I thought because it's my anti-style. sent after rain, the top-out was a bit wet.
-
2023-05-18Very much my style. Really fun solo session. Did it second go, and repeated it for good measure. -
-
Love it. Good vibes. Damp top out. s2 -
I enjoyed all the moves.. but there’s more, much more. Stoked -

Sweet climb, went down surprisingly quick, first go after figuring out my beta! -
-
Sent with a grade 1 rotator cuff strain and a handful of tries Single session!
-
-
Finally after 3 sessions! Particularly bad at springy moves so was pretty satisfying to send with the opening throw -
-

2022-07-21not even sandbagging, like 4/5 trys?
-
Classic. Short and sweet with awesome moves. Couple tries. The low is the more obvious/clean line to me. -
Such good movement on this! So good! Right high heel beta for the win. Might be some of the coolest moves I've done on a boulder to date.. -
Fun and cool
-
Kept foot on for the win! Thanks Jake for the inspiration on that :D. Same as the low... flashed to the last move out left... getting it 'right' makes so much difference in friction -

Team send day with my girl Mika. What a lovely day in the forest -
-
Stoked to do in a session :) -

Heel hook beta for the start. 4 sessions. I'm climbing in a dream bro. -
First session in less than an hour. First move was hardest, the shoulder move and high step didn't feel hard at all for me.
-
-
awesome. -
First session getting on this, really unexpected send. Unbelievably stoked! Ridiculous features on this boulder.
-
-
Jesus that first move spat me off too many times to admit. Dialed the 2nd move to the finish probably the first time I tried it from that point. May be a little soft, first move was just hard. Stoked to take down this line with such a nice flow. 3rd session
-
Crux for me was the bump out to the fin's arete, not the first move. Fell off the arete move 10 times before managing to stick it and top out. -
-
The press move is cool! Didnt believe it would work until I was in the press haha. -
2021-08-17I'm disgusting. After eulogising about the merits of the first move I ended up not falling off using a heel hook.
-
Was so tired I thought I wouldn't even be able to do it.. turns out it went first try 🤷♂️
-
Been eyeing this up for a while stoked to send in a quick session!
-
-
-
Yay! Wonderful mix of powerful, technical and spooky
-

So psyched! what a climb!! So psyched to do it the jump way! Felt like Obe! If only for a second.
-
-
-
2nd try. First move crux. Amazing movement and comfortable holds. Sick meat-hook to mantle finish. -
-
-
-
After a five year hiatus i came in with the day send- pretty psyched. Lots of tension at the start if you want to keep your feet on the whole way but still go up left hand first.
-
-
So so psyched. First 9 since I was in my 20’s! Got it in four goes!!! So happy. -
So good. -

As good as expected

Such a cool top sequence -
quick stop in squam for the first time -
-
4th try today, but many other attempts in the past. Climbed like a dream -
Sent in 2 sessions! Super sick -
Managed to send this after two days of working it. Super cool. -
Classic power moves on big holds with tension.
-
5 sessions on off. So happy to put this one down. Phenomenal climb! -
Best boulder I've had the pleasure of climbing so far!
-
Went way faster than I thought it would. Second go of second session! Really psyched on this. The low looks so hard!! -
2019-05-04stuck the first move a bunch but just couldn't lock the crimp, when i finally did it went. -
Got this one on the 'secret burn' right as people were putting pads away! Big thanks to Sam who believed in me when I thought tonight would not be the night. put four or so session into this over the past two years.
-
-
Had beta whisperers tell me the left heel beta, very fun
-
That fin move is pretty cool -
2nd go, Should of flashed it, messed up last move. Felt really soft -
2019-03-10 -
Third try, third session. Finally into V9 territory. -
really fun! Super unique for Squamish -
-
Unreal boulder problem! Only did the first move once.
-
-
-
Sweet moves, bump to the cup felt pretty fun -
-
-
Really cool problem. Everyone should try this for their first 9s
-
-
First V9! First move felt great once it stuck
-
First v9. That second move is so low percentage. -
high pressure send with master Andy Liu watching -

This climb felt absolutely amazing. Sneaky left heel hook start to make the first move static. Never seen anyone else do it that way.
-
Third go, first v9. -
-
-
one of the best things i've ever touched
-
One of the most inspiring and beautiful lines I've ever climbed.
-
-
-
-
Doing it at the end of the day in the heat was questionable, but I pulled it out. I did the first move as a jump because it was fun. 5ish tries. -
Really nice climb that works the left shoulder pretty hard. Waaaay soft for a Squamish 9 though, more like V7/8 probably. I guess I'll play along though haha.
-
First V9! I really should go bouldering more, super fun session! Probably tried this a handful of times over the years. -
-
Thanks Michelle and Tosh for the perseverance in the face of rain!

Secret beta lead to an ultra quick send

Almost popped off locking to the jug.
-
fun! cool boulder -
freeman flash
-
A long time coming. Slight movement beta tweak and the send came quickly, after six seasons of trying.
-
-
Time to do the low. If my friend didn't tell me to breathe I probably would have fallen! -

One session to get the moves, went first try second session. Didn't feel hard on the send but felt unlikely on the first session. Stoked to get this!

Pretty amazing features on this one. Wasn't that psyched on it initially, but I'm glad I came back to finish it off. -
-
3rd go, great problem, glad to finally be in Squamish without a tweaked finger!

2nd try. Stoked to try the sit. -
First move is the crux.
-
Really fun. All in the first move, fell many a time on it but went right away after sticking it.
-
-
gotta send the low now -
-
Incredible climb, found the move to the fin to be very hard.
-
stoked i got it, always seemed impossible, or just out of reach

Totally loved this climb. Excellent moves on an interesting feature. So good!

Big fun, big chuck. Best mantel I've tried

Misread the book on where it starts! Thought I had flashed it but I didn't. two tries
-
-
topped this out with ice on the mantle holds, good fun!

midnight send on the last night of the trip! great way to end an awesome first trip to Squamish
-
excellent moves, hard shouldery pinch move towards the end. gotta make the heel stay on the first move...the low looks super difficult. hard for me. piss for ryan lee.
-
-
Nice one. It's all about the first move. Did a heelhook, went right hand to the crimp, matched and went on. :) 10min's
-
:) made the bump out to the fin! 2 V9 in one day!!! -

Classic problem. One of the best and most beautiful problem in the Squa. Now for the low start.
-

-
2009-07-30 -
Who needs a burly left-hand move when you can heel-hook and dead-point with your right-hand? So close on the low!

Sick board style moves on jugs to slap on shark fin. ONE OF THE BEST. Rampage exit is V9 variant. Very hard exit sequence
