Sickness!!! Prepare to take down some 7b aretes. My ticklist is probably 90% 7b aretes.

Thanks for reminding me to tick it. You could reduce my struggles by either warming up, having beta, taking chalk, brushing the top or just generally trying it with a team not a bunch of bored smokers 'on a rest day'. Five minutes later I bust a tendon. Cry me a fuckin river.

""

It's a manky over-hyped bloc for sure; not half as neat as the one w/ the gently overhanging 7C+ arete further back down the road, but that wall is climb is hard, or so I thought.

Dense, which is cooler:  failing on 7b aretes or failing on 6b aretes.

If you're gonna get spanked, get spanked in style :lol:

No surprises there, in Dense's case it'd be failing on 6bs or 'working' an 8a.

it wouldn't be failing on 6b's. i don't pay a lot of money to go to font to climb 6b, nor do i pay a lot of money to do the same problem over and over
