Original grade, as far as I can recall was indeed v14/.14d. I remember some mag article where DG was discussing it, how strange it was to put a route grade on it, etc. J.Kehl was the first proper boulder send (no vid that I can remember) if I'm not mistaken, followed by KG. Somehwhere in there Tony Lamiche did it too, but on a rope...that might have been before the boulder ascents, so the second? Trying to remember if Gomez did this one too--I thought maybe not but could be wrong. As far as I know, everyone took v14 from that era? Then over the years I started hearing either soft v14 or a slashgrade of v13/14. This is the first time I think I've seen just straight v13...saw your comment Tristan that you had heard people just considered it v13 now and maybe that's consensus? No idea. Curious if you ever tried the cross beta also. Pretty sure both betas had been unlocked in the 90s. At any rate, sick vid, sick send. Respect.
It's a little hard to say since a lot of people just say 9a, but I was under the impression that it was V13 and was kind of surprised when I saw V14 for it from the older ascents. I kind of lump it in with Child and Chelsea for the harder crimpy 13's in New England. Also if I'd just try to do it on a rope it would've been a fairly easy one sesh
So sick dude! Big congrats. I look at these holds all the time and dream about being strong and skilled enough to pull on them Not sure if you care but another channel posted send footage like a week ago. Obviously not on par with this edit lol
Love that you paid homage to the KJ edit. Insane send dude!!
LOVE the homage! I probably watched that Nor'Easter video a thousand times. Now there are two. Sick send 🙌
God have I missed a good Tristen Chen downgrade
Tbh I didn’t even realize people called this v14 ever. Always just thought it was 8B
@@TChenRock you must have watched Kevin Jorgensen's video of it?
Vid is Core asf 🤘 What a beautiful line
So sick you used the same music for Kevin’s accents so long ago when I got into climbing 😂❤😂❤
Sooo good! Congrats man!
looks harder than a v13
Pretty cool to have Nina as your spotter. Sick edit!
very sick
Thanks dude
@@TChenRock catch me next to jaws projecting the crux of Hawaii 5-O...still haven't sent ;(
Am homage to KJ's ascent with the music?
Red:wave2: soft
