Massive Vertigo 

Sweet! Good work finding it again Steve.

Very cool problem! It comes down to one hard move and I can't wait to come back again and do it! Fun gymnastic moves on an overhanging arete!!

Agreed with Steve. This problem is awesome, can't wait to try it again. Sweaty shows up and just crushed it. So strong Sweaty!

Here's the video of the send. compliments of professional videographer Steve :-)

sweet send Jon! You crushed it.

I'm a pretty kickass videographer Sweaty. You're lucky I used my talents on you.

That's why I made sure to give you credit :-) To be fair though I thought the video thru the crux was very well done. However, once i get to the jugs my ass was litterally in your face. kind of hard to do anything with the camera at that point.

Nice send. Your beta is way different and harder ...HA

There are alot of problems that need to be done between jega and massive vertigo. Alot with very bad landings!

What was your beta man?

heel on the start hold and go for the pitch below the crimper you use then right to the sloppy pinch

huh interesting. Did Andy and Kevin try it that way too? how did it work for them?

we were all kinda close but that move is the stopper for sure. They got jenga pretty fast too.

knee scum beta= easier?

and = gayer... Good job on the send buddy :-)

Sweaty.

2 words. ALPINE CLUB.

BOOSH!

NIC+KNEE PAD= RAD!

I win again.

Why u have to rub in the fact that u are strong and I'm a sally.

Not stronger, I just own a knee pad.

Sorry.

Can we make up?

Make out is the proper term, Nic. Get it together!

I'm down with doing either :-)

The knee bar is the money beta. We had a send train using the knee pad. It did feel like cheating a bit, but it is still a great problem.

F***ing kneepads. lol. great job guys. sickness!

I have done a few things at devil's lake, none are greater than finding that knee-bar.

Knee pad=3 sends in four try's! Maybe more like 6 that way.

You guys had a killer day. And you sir have been on a wisconsin rampage this week. I'm glad it wasn't to cold for you guys to climb and you were all able to get some shit dealt with. most excellent.

p.s. Nic I'll never forgive you...

knee pads??? What is this Rifle? So who is down for going up this weekend and searching for some boulders?

So did Katie get the FFA??? Nice job!!!!!!!

Katie crushes this thing in our new video Midwest Unknown

did some one on MP actually downgrade a problem cause one person used a "kneepad" i dont get the downgrade to a 6? the main obvious line climbed is def. an 8?

Hey Greg, the kneebar beta is the easiest and most logical way to climb this problem now. Just off the top of my head I can count 8 different people that have done the problem with this beta and it is now the accepted way.

This is the exact same line as it's always been, but is just easier if you can stick the kneebar in and do what used to be the crux move static.

Most of us 8 who did it with a knee pad aren't strong enough to do the original beta! (Well, me anyway). Once easier beta is found the original beta generally abandoned. Sad but true!

Thanks Chris and Steve for the info.

To be honest Greg I don't really like the bouldering-kneepad-trend @ DL, but showing up to do Massive Vertigo, Black Sheep, or Public Enemy without a knee pad would be a little like showing up at Rifle without one. Although maybe I don't like the trend cuz I'm a cheapskate and I don't own one. :)

Vinny made a sweet knee-pad from C4 Rubber he got by the sheet at Eastside shoe repair. Wouldn't use of a knee pad be just like wearing shoes? Sounds like a new forum topic on the concept is needed ;)
