A route, yes, but fucking harder than any slab boulder problem I've ever tried - Angel's Share, Black Rocks.

And with a mat, a lovely height for a boulder problem. Perhaps the best starting moves on a problem I've done. No - I couldn't top out in a oner (and wearing brand new pinks (double-duh) it was never going to happen anyway...) but lovely hippetty-hopperty moves nevertheless: a real grit class act.
Cheers for that. All very intriguing.Certainly looks like a good line.
I don´t know if it is the same slab problem: http://www.freakclimbing.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=128
Think the second V15 slab got heavily downgraded by one of the japanese wads.
Good work sir.8c down to 7c+/8a. Swiss grades eat your heart out.
irrelevent now but Phillipe le Denmat did an 8B slab to the left of Alta at Isatis - name escapes me, but anyway it was chipped by that nutter that was fired by the climbing shop a couple of years ago and is now impossible (apparently...)
Rumour has it done by Gaskins before the hold broke? Second hand info I'm afraid...

not even a slab by any definition of the word.
it may as well be V14. 5-dan = V14 or V15
