Worst Case Scenario – V9

United States > Utah > Joe's Valley > Left Fork

Description:

Starts on two crimps in the center of the boulder. Moves left to a cool tufa then punches to the jug. Traverse right using a heel hook and finish around the corner.

While there is potential for a seriously disastrous fall, this risk seemed low with appropriate spotting.

Looks good and climbs even better. Sickening movement, grips and path of travel. Studied and executed well and felt controlled on the flash. Mad respect to those who built the landing as well.

Was ready to walk away and send on the next trip but with unexpected events, we gave it a hail mary visit and sent pretty quickly. So psyched!

Awesome movement, not really scary. Tufas, crimps, and pinches lead to an easy top.

Awesome awesome problem. Today was supposed to be a rest day, but the crew was there and had it all padded up so I couldn't resist. Flashed with literally no warmup other than fondling the holds before I pulled on...lucky I didn't get injured.

Nobody fears the height, you all just fear the fall. Go to the edge sometime, and prove your body wrong.
