Good stuff Chris. You must start a new thread, Name that Video? But, hey you must be a teacher, eh. Just as that vein on her arm starts pump'n up there was little bit of encouragement, just a taste of beta. Fine work from both of you.

Oh Man.....I started eyeballing that route this summer! I was even going to go buy a #6 just for it. That was going to go along with my sans Guidebook day. She cruised it...in a tank top no less. My shoulder and arm would be shredded if I tried that. Strong work!

RR, it looks as if she had more than one big cam in there, that's like a whole paycheck. She was solid and I liked the "someone gave blood comment" as she approached the top of the corner. And, nary a scratch on herself. Grace under pressure.
Word. My 1st thought was..nooooooo, not in a tank top. But I have a whole Green Eggs and Ham-type relationship with OWs in general.
Not when its hot Not when its not Not with an edge Not even a ledge Not with two sixes..
etc..

Stout climbing. Great use of the knee bar on the traverse and chicken wing up the OW. But for me the real prize was watching the "use my hand to put my foot where I want it" move. One of my favorite!

You could do it with 1 #6 but having 2 of them is the way to go because you can reposition the second one without feeling like you are going to crater. Oh yeah, and I would recommend wearing more than a tank top.
