More Info

I grew up in Texas and then started climbing in college in New Hampshire in 2002. I moved to Telluride after college and kept climbing obsessively until 2005, when I broke both legs in a skiing accident. Got back to climbing after a year or two of rehab... I lived in Austin from '08 to '17, mostly sport climbing with the occasional trip to climb trad or ice. Moved back to Colorado (Golden) in 2017 and am enjoying being back among the mountains...

My beta for the crux: LH jug, RH slot, LF on small hold near edge of roof, RF on slick 1 inch wide foot, squat in frog position, deadpoint RH to top of arete pinch, cross LF through to small smear, place high RF in seam, press hard downward w LH on jug, move LF out to small foot jib way out left, then quickly move LH to good crimp (maybe pausing on mediocre LH gaston first).
