| Jungle Fever (7B+) | tried full fever for a hot minute last year during the summer, felt incredibly hard and fell going to the last hold multiple times and eventually regressed to cruxing out on the peanut, came back sent jungle quick and had the same experience on full lolol very genuine claim to being one of the hardest v8s out there, thanks max for driving out 6 hours just to pull on sandbagged choss - very weird movement, crimpy and the rock holds moisture in a weird way |

| Jungle Fever (7B+) | Right hand dry fired almost as many times as v points. Needed that evening humidity for the stick. Not always the most pleasant thing to try, but a true technical test piece. Glad to be ascending through the mortar classics (or is it descending) |

| chinese connection (8B) | Put more effort into this one than anything before. Took a break for half a year then came back today with a better mindset. Grateful for the lessons learned. |

| Cherries (7C) | My first V9. Sunshine Eliminate big move and finished straight over Black Plague (no bailing right or left). I graded it as a V7/8 one-move into V4/5 into V5/6, which equals solid V9, but I can't really tell the difficulty of single moves too well. If you're on the shorter side, I can see this feeling harder. |

| White Plague (7A+) | Top out directly over the prow for maximum value. Solid V6 from the sit by Mortar standards. The kneebar makes every move consistent. You don't need a knee pad to use the kneebar, thick pants are fine. |

| Sunshine Eliminate (7B+) | 3rd session. I didn’t think I could go to the smiley in one move, but found out I could. I tried doing pinch, then going to the smiley, but that felt objectively much harder. Going straight to the smiley crimp felt like a V7 move into choss V5 top out. Top out is not fun. |
