4th ascent (after Woods, Southward, Whitfield)? A worthy, full-value alternate exit to MOM and don't mind spending days at this boulder. Hard for me, guessing solid, power-endurance V11. V9 entry to the "jug" on MOM followed by 6 or 7 move V9 exit crux. Possibly the hardest moves on slopers I've done to date although similar in difficulty to Hideaway. My 5th day on this this season, 3rd full fledged effort day. Was here about a week before the send when it was low 60s and couldn't do that sloper moves by themselves, the most friction dependent boulder I've experienced yet at the New. Still had a solid punt the go before, matching the lip and running out of beta and juice, thought I may not have enough energy to make it back up there. Surprised I can hold those slopes with feet cutting. Means a lot to me, was uncertain I would ever have the power-endurance to line this one up, opens the door to other similarly difficult lines. Lisa with the encouragement!
