I climbed from the sit-through the stand to the last move but didn't finish it. Although I didn't send, I felt it was V10ish.

Movement's fun enough though, and definitely not the most contrived thing I've done lol.Dan Beallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11564512554382660173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540589401809262456.post-50197755111218967122013-03-19T11:56:02.444-07:002013-03-19T11:56:02.444-07:00I'm 5'8 and climbed this recently and foun...I'm 5'8 and climbed this recently and found no trouble from a size perspective.

I guess if there are problems that restrict folks on height in one direction, we are bound to see that start to happen on the other (shorter) side for low sit starts.

It's like two feet off the ground. I'm 5'10 with a +4 ape and I could barely fit myself into the position he started in. Also, sitting on one 4" pad I could easily reach the next pair of holds from the ground.<br /><br />If I wanted to climb this line I would still try to start it per the FA's choice of holds, but it does raise an interesting quandary in climbing now that kids are starting to get super strong..jfhttp://firestoneclimbs.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540589401809262456.post-77178189604551530102013-01-28T13:33:39.115-08:002013-01-28T13:33:39.115-08:00visionary!!! ;)visionary!!! ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540589401809262456.post-13992176125938164622013-01-27T04:49:19.012-08:002013-01-27T04:49:19.012-08:00Great Job on an amazing boulder.
