It's full 1080p HD, so go full screen and max quality if you have a fast internet connection...

How far off the ground is the first draw? Looks pretty far up for a gym?!

Nice!

I tried it once on TR, peeled out of the very bottom, and swung for about 25 ft. across the floor on my back leaving a big chalk skid. It was proud.

The wind must get huge there. Look how all those little flags are going in the same direction.

Nice work! What's not apparent in the film is how bad a lot of those jams are. I've never made it. The jams at the top, where the angle eases off, are especially heinous!

Nice video! Gave me the requisite sweaty palms while watching.

The crack is fingers/super tight hands?

That makes my fingers and toes hurt just to watch.

You also don't get from the vid just how steep it is.

Great video... (palms are sweaty)!!!

I thought for sure you were solid when pullin rope for that last clip....

But looks can be deceiving!!!!


Cheers!!!!


(Oh yeah Edit: that looks practically no feet, and mainly just paisting the outer edge of crack for surface tension!!!... Oh Maan!!!)

That thing totally went on gear when it was FA'ed. Shame to see its now been punted down to the land of sport gym climb.

Kinda like Cookie Monster.

Someone needs to consecrate and resurrect that thing! Any sign of a compressor hanging about?

I heard Kara (age 11) is the only one who has freed this crack?
[Edit:] Oops, yeah, it was Connor (age 8, Kara's younger brother) - just read his mom's fb comment more carefully!

Clint, I'm pretty sure it was a boy named Conner that freed it. A very proud send!
