Red point
Whooo! 4 full days of work on this baddy. 1st day sorted the moves half on a rope, 2nd day refined some foot beta and climbed it in 2 overlapping pieces but fell a couple times going for the far right crimp, 3rd day was a known gamble without enough time to recover from day 2 and sure enough ran out of skin and energy after my 1st go as a high point. A long work stretch and frustrating weather (holy hell it's been so much snow and rain) kept me from revisiting for about 2 weeks, and barely sneaking it in the weather window with the rain having already soaked the top out as I was sending. Feels like solid V11 for me, I could not manage the original beta, I think mostly because of reach, and had to figure a completely new, wacked sequence with a GIANT cross over mid climb. 5 star climbing but a 1 star line due to it being a contrivance off F5. I think the morpho plays heavy here although would love to see some other folks try it out, unlikely given it's impure nature. Still worthy for me needs!
