Alex Barrows ticks Autoengaño (9a)
Alex describes this line and his ascent as, "Spinning around on jugs and knees through the middle of a big roof... very me! Nice to feel good on it today after punting the end last weekend falling out of a kneebar like a moron. Finished on the jug on the lip of the roof, not by clipping the chains from the kneebar before (back around anyone who did that ;) ) Must be very squishy for the grade, but it's very cool."
Can you tell us more about the ascent?
I worked it for 4 days, fell off the end (out of a kneebar, like an idiot) on the fifth day and managed to not be quite so stupid on the sixth day. Obviously, not all in a row, I'm too old to not rest a lot 😂
