[Hide Comment] You have to cross the bulge and have your right hand on the smile, left on sidepull, then go up as in Sunshine Eliminate. If you top out as regular Sunshine it's much easier, the crux is crossing the bulge and going up without a rest. May 25, 2021

[Hide Comment] Probably very subjective. For me it felt a little harder than Stan, which felt a little harder than Nats. Did you do the sit start from Kraken? They originally called that an 11 but it's too soft. May 25, 2021

[Hide Comment] I'd give it a v9 for me because I feel it's slightly harder than Stan's. It's also a bit harder than Sunshine Eliminate imo, which I think is v8. Grades at Mortar are weird :) May 25, 2021
