Back after 3 years, same crew, but this time everyone sends. Requires more commitment in positions of insecurity and discomfort more than power. Also conditions. Once Marc showed us it was possible, we all sent next try. Climbing is cool.

So goddamn fun. 4th try today...just had to figure out how the fuck to do the finish. 9 in the new guide...soft like all of Tahoe, but I certainly made it 9 by not looking at the topout holds beforehand and fucking around a bunch up there. The low start to Nazgul is possible but low percentage, so I need to get stronger and/or luckier...

It doesn't feel like it's hard, it feels like I suck.

Anti-style, but I got a little better at climbing and came during freezing temps so it was finally my turn for it to feel soft.

Nice line...pillowy.

Really cool feature, pretty cool climbing. Really just two moves that feel more of a learned thing than actually difficult. Felt not too hard in crap conditions with wet hands for basically the whole thing, so in reasonable conditions, V9 might be pushing it.

Nice to put it together after trying it a few times over the years but never being strong enough. Awesome forced coordination double clutch dyno, which I pogo'd. -1 star for lame sit start and thrutchy topout.

Good thing we looked up video beta because there are way too many options and I could've been fucking around forever.

Second go with the heel. Moves are great, the rock is not.

Second go. No warm up. In Sean's shoes. 100% my style

After seeing all the choss lower on the hill, was a little concerned about the quality of this thing, but the rock is much higher quality. Easy V5 gym crimp moves to the lip, a weird deadpoint lurch, and then bullshit your way over the bulge...not sure how to grade. Didn't use foot dyno to body smear most people do because it looked like sucks, just did a high foot rockover and went straight up.
