Blast Off

This was a fun climb at the quarry. The anchors were put in in some years ago and has never been climbed in over a decade. A couple weeks ago I rapped down this line and brushed off some moss and pine needles to uncover this sweet line. Off said that it was a nice 5.10+ climb, a partial truth. The last 25 feet is a dihedral that has some of the best 5.10 climbing that I've done. The approach, on the other hand, is a different story. It is a V4 boulder problem into another V4 dyno. This route requires power for the dyno, strength for the start and some finesse for the finish. Go to the youtube to watch and enjoy the video...
