XMen. 4 stars. Get on it.


Description 

I know, I know. 4 stars Chris? Seriously? Yes dudes. I'm telling you, this is a classic climb. Here's my reasons: 1. It has a great sit start (a lot of sds in Duluth lack the quality of actually being cool) 2. The movement flows well and is consistent throughout the climb 3. The holds are cool 4. There is an amazing pinch that I had to use (and you will likely not find a hold like this anywhere else in Duluth or Northern MN for that matter!) 5. It's a good enough length to have a little risk involved. Named XMen for the X's that criss-cross the face, the new evolving climbing scene in Duluth, and the mutants that are starting to appear.

Both this and "top out problem" are great fun on nice holds. Four stars, no, but definatly fun climbing. They have cleaned up pretty well, I couldn't find any loose holds.

Really fun problem! It took me quite a few slaps to get the sloper keyed in for the top-out.
