I put up a triple digit highball in east Virginia but u don't see me posting that shit on the forums

Is it slab? If so, can I try it?

I've been playing Insane in the Membrane in my brain this entire thread and it just fits perfect

Brother should have stopped halfway and pulled a Cliff Bar out of that beard

Slab is fun till it’s wet

While this is much harder than any boulder I will ever climb this video is boring. Not “INSANE”

If it's not "INSANE", would you at least agree it's "INSANE!"?

Bro no trolling here. We just like the slab :D

Slab Justice Warrior is one of the most solid IG accounts out there. Its conceptual and practical purity is unrivaled. If you know of other people who have invented, claimed, and fulfilled a niche so effectively, please share and I will follow. Mtn Project forum is precisely the place for this kind of thing. There needs to be metacommentary around IG climbing.

100% Could not agree with you more. When I open his instagram, I have to wear welding goggles to avoid being blinded by the holy light that emanates from my phone screen. 

This thread has sort of become like this one:

New Climber That's Owning It

You know youve made it when your insta handle is @brodudeV11, until then you are just like a normal human.

I still have 8 hard slab projects around me of similar difficulty and height that I have to do (and about 30-40 slabby trad and sport routes). All a 20 minute drive from my house in Morgantown. And then all the hard East Coast slabs, and then I'll head west. I have heard Old Rag in VA has a ton of potential for granite La Pedriza style slab sport routes too!

If I am ever out your direction, I'll happily hop on whatever slabs you point me at!

I assume you've gotten down to the NRG already?

I took a casual trip down to do a bunch of the easier slab boulders. Andre the Giant onsight was probably the highlight. Wanted to hop on Love in an Elevator, but I didn't know who to ask for a pin. It is hard to convince myself to drive 3 hours for heavily featured slabs when I have sparsely features slabs 20 minutes away.

Raw Footage on Instagram

Hey Guys! Sharing some stoke here. My good friend just put up an INSANE slab highball in West Virginia, near coopers rock. A few different people have said that it is between V10-V12. The holds are just ripples and razor thin little flakes. I'm honestly in awe of this line, especially considering the height and the poor landing area. Footage is wild AF.

That's all I've got. Wishing everyone happy 'sends!

Without some slowmo closeups of grabbing the crux holds this is no more exciting than watching paint dry.
