Amazing that we haven't seen a second ascent yet?
Or did I miss that too...

"I make the first move, the one that ejected me an hour earlier, and can hardly stay attached. But with the knowledge that it is going to be more balance than usual and a micromanaging tradeoff between one counterforce lock and another while losing the knee bar, I progress, using unbelievable amounts of power seeking security in the flare in an orderly but granular transition that is nearly impossible at least for someone my size. And there are absolutely no edges of any sort in the crack, neither on the main wall nor on the dihedral face, my usual secret tactic to unlock some cruxes."

Peter, I can't determine if the writing or the ascent is more impressive. World class both! I missed this great read earlier, nice bump Survival.
Thank you so much.

Holy shit! Looks phenomenal. I try to imagine plugging up that crux crack pitch as it pulls you closer and closer to the brink out right... phew!
There must be a cousin to Nutcracker on that lower angle dome to the right, or something better.

I've been up to the crux pitch of that crack. It is amazing. Lightening stopped us. SH#T!! We had gone 11 pitches up it and that was only where the business begins!
Baskecase looks oh so rough.
