On my quest to climb new boulders I said "Wow! Brainwashed is hard for V4!" and "Psaat! The Bee is hard for V6!" But then I tried El Yuri Left, at a mere V5 in the book, and after 30-45 minutes of wrestling and saying "Argh!" I managed big success! Really good problem. I would say it is graded V5 with respect to El Burro being V3. If it were a V8 I would say it takes the cake for best V8 on North after the closures of the mythical ~Mushroom Roof~ of legend and my fave Adjust your Attitude, may they rest in peace

Really cool obscurity on solid dark rock. Arete right of something different. Start on high right sidepull and left pinching arete, ya have to get real stretched as you slap up the crimps on either side.... Quite hard, and if you're short it might be double the grade

Why is everything I flash soft????? Maybe I should stop wearing kneebar pads. Amazing roof climbing to a fun easy highball topout! One of the faves in Joe's. (The stand is actually V3 so I don't feel bad calling the full line V6)

Gigi wouldn't let me climb this on my rest day even though I assured her it looked "V3 kneebar soft". Came back after some night smashing on I shaved my head for this, and after making a bet that Id climb big cheesy naked if I was wrong about softness, I proved that I am kneebar king! No seriously, this is V4 if you are in the upper 5 feet tall range and know a thing or two about kneebars, but sendage wouldn't let me downgrade further than 6... Got pretty scared trying to climb the topout slab in the dark though. Fun climb. Did big cheesy naked anyways for a laugh

Pitch two of the naughty corner. After topping the naughty corner, climb the beautiful 2 foot tall nugget from a sit start. If at first you think "Nahh I'm too good for this" then (A) Adjust your attitude and (B) you probably can't do it anyways

Duck 3.0 lives!!! Traveled all the way from the America to the kjugekull, Sweden's "Best" bouldering area just to attempt an onsight flash of this majestic line! Sadly, I made a poor choice in footwear and blew my flash, forever. Many tears. Luckily I made a 2nd go soft and Joakim was able to use what he learned from my folly to achieve the coveted flash a scent for himself. P.S. I will never flash a 5+ in sugar cube

Come on peoples! The rig begins lower! Start with that left hand where Chris started and wiggle through the hole like the beautiful serpent creature you are! Sure, the normal rock climbing moves may merely be V11 but everyone knows the crux is the wiggle mantle, so if you traverse left you're only cheating yourself, and the rock climb

2nd ascent of Mr. Athlete's coveted lay down start to above the pond. Starts on small right pocket and toe hook out left. Actually a king line with a sweet braaap and toe hook sequence finishing on North hardest V3

Siiiick new line right next to the roof with stimulator/porcupine. Like a miniature black eagle for the people. Don't need to climb V15 for this glory

Duck is life, duck is love.

Muuuuuuuuuuuuuungggeeeeeeeeeeeee

Bitten by a tick my first 10 minutes in leavenworth but despite the fleshwound managed to make flash. Absolute classic!

Fucking limit... couldn't do it in the summer and had to return for subzero conditions and rage send in the winter
