The one and only pinch overhang. Crazy sick mantle. Very bold, committing, and spicy.

Very good V4/5. Lots of moves, climbs very nicely. Two big moves at the end, then very slick slopers at the top.

Superb sit to the classic V6 stand. Really cool toehooking, heal-toe camming, and an amazing double pinch feature. I got the sit second go after the stand.

Very cool, not V7 unless you factor in fear. Got it second go. Kind of like Scarface, but not painful, and much more sustained.

Decent crimping. Go from the big rail up and right past crimps, then left to topout.

I was drinking Red Bull and beer by Kelly's and said, "I'm gonna go send that thing." Then I sent it and split my tip in the exact same spot I split it last trip. Superb V6-8. I'm taking all eight points.

Amazing problem. So perfect. Big moves on unique holds. I had this thing so dialed for the send. Pulled the crux in control. 5 days.

Pull hard crimps all the way up with hard feet. I sent this part very clean and static. Big dyno to a rail and surf to the top. Might not be full V9, but harder than all my V8's.

Perfect problem. Kind of weird, and not typical, but amazingly aesthetic! Very good balance and flawless footwork gets this one. I got this in hot conditions.

First V9! It has a ninja chop like movement. I brewed on this one over 3 sessions. Jeremy found the clutch kneebar at the end...I love a good kneebar!

Finally got this! Longest project of my life at 5 days! Except for it grinding on you, this problem rocks. Long hard-to-do-static intro moves, to a very hard kneebar, then piano crimping, and hard ungerclings to a slap and match finish.

I went right hand to the pocket...I felt real strong on this problem this year. Going out left first probably solidifies the grade.

Hard to pull off the ground! This problem has nasty slopers, pebbles, crimps, and a thank god jug! The first move was like catching a cannon ball. Crazy. I got this with the sun almost gone and conditions were perfect. The low start is next!

Soft. Very crimpy for an alleged sloper problem. Awkward movement. The throw to the last jug is huge and took me a bunch of tries.

Only hard move is pulling off the ground. Took me four tries to send. I pulled the lip directly without using the giant pocket to the right. This problem suited me perfectly. I think it should be called "Rub One Out."

First 8. Three days effort. Two cruxes, planned on using intermediate at 2nd crux, but just crossed all the way when I actually got there. This should have 5 stars.
