| Link in Bio (8c+) | This is a direct finish to "Buffaloes in Space". This is where the old 1/4-in bolts and nails were for the original aid line (I replaced those with 3/8-in bolts with permission). The breakdown: traditional-style 5.12+/5.13- followed immediately by ~V11-ish (?) vertical boulder problem protected by 4 bolts on some small crimps. Many thanks to all those who got up there with me! Rob Daniel won the Golden Gri-gri award for the belay on this one thanks to Belayer Magazine! |
