| THC (7b+) | Finally! Tōkai's most highly rated climb and for a very good reason! It's very rare to find a climb that is so consistent in difficulty, with almost perfectly shaped pockets and good feet. The route starts off with a couple of easy moves that slowly get harder until a very abrupt and long dynamic move around the third bolt (First Crux) followed by a tricky clip and a couple of easier moves into a bad rest. Directly after that comes another crux section that revolves around a small sidepull for the right hand that is extremely hard to get right and then a long crossover into an OK slot. Immediately after that comes the third crux that involves some long moves on shallow pockets and small crimps leading into a crappy rest right before the top. The last moves to the top are not really hard by themselves but after having climbed the lower part the pump definitely starts to accumulate. Tried it once 8 years ago with my friend Tom, fell in love with the route, returned once four years ago, and now needed another two days and still felt very hard (would deserve 7c in other countries most likely). Original grade: 5.12b/c ~4d/10t Video |
