Epitome of a brilliant crimp rig. Still can't flash (soft) V9, so close!! Dabbed on the finish move on 2nd go and resent with conviction on the 3rd. Gotta say these are some really lovely crimps. Didn't exit early, and I think this may be a 4+ star line if it didn't have that arete so close. I suppose it could be an 8, I haven't climbed enuf at the New to know yet.

Beautiful line. Committing last move. It's definitely a crimp ladder but a good one. Unique holds and the moves flow really well. Did someone dig out the start with a shovel?
