- V8Couple tries, my style. Liked this one
- V10Way more tries than I thought it would take, but I'll blame that on the climber not the boulder. Very nice line.

V6 ↓Second go. Short but fun - FA: Mayo Clinic

V8 ↓The first move is the hardest, but the last move is also worth looking at. Would be classic if you didn't have to avoid dabbing on the boulder behind. for the start - FA: Out of the Hole

V6Also would be classic if it weren't for the potential dab factor on the boulder behind. - FA: Death Cross

V7A little tricky with the feet. - V8Other than the sappy start, it climbed better than I thought it would. The slopey rail campus takes some energy before doing the crux.

V10 ↓Very fun climbing. I agree that this could be V9, but it took me more sessions that I thought it would and there is an argument for V10 too, so I won't be the one downgrading this this - V10 ↓Nice toe-hook tension on the first part of the traverse. I would say this is a grade harder than Mudslinger, so if consensus for that is soft V9 then I would say this rig is soft V10. Look at me suggesting an upgrade!
- V9Pretty nice slopey rail traverse. Topout is harder than I was expecting...I fell off up there first time I made it through the bottom
- V6Not bad, not great. Low is way more fun
- V8Really enjoyed this one. If you kneebar (with kneepad) in the starting hueco, go to left to slopey crimp, right gaston, then fire for the right lip its probably V8. And that's even after I ripped off the starting jug and broke a right foot. The drive-by toe-catch in the hueco when you hit the lip is probably the coolest part of the problem.
- V9There is definitely subtlety in the beta that can make it feel easy once you figure it out, or hard if you don't. With good beta, easy V9 seams appropriate. Not really any harder than the direct finish IMO.
- V6Definitely not V8
- V8So I started matched on the bad crimp rail with a right small foot and left toehook, fired for the ledge, then topped out in the hueco out left. Assuming I started in the correct position, this is definitely more V8 then V10. fun one-mover though.
- V9 ↓Got lucky I think flashing the last move.
