I found this spectacular, and spectacularly spooky splitter and knew we had an ephemeral classic on our hands. Watch as Evan Wisheropp makes a first ascent and Mary Eden follows it up quickly with the second ascent.
After the crux second pitch, you can continue for two more pitches, culminating in a 20' 5.12 roof offwidth pitch landing you on the rim. The second pitch flake "feels" solid, but who knows how long it will last... geologic time is now!

The rack to do this is about the same dollar value as a 2021 Sprinter van.

Absolutely mental route there, well done !

I've only ever held a snake in my hands a few times, but it feels like they're just all muscle, nothing else, muscle from one side to the other. Mary reminds me of a snake.

Dude this was so crazy… can’t believe that’s considered 5.12a. You went to war 🙌 Sick video too!! Can’t wait to see more

Wide boys need to come climb this. Would love to see them struggle on this massive flake.

Wot a fecking nightmare. 😂 You must have loved it.

That was a whole new level of claustrophobia

@EvanWisheropp 3 месяца назад

Is it still claustrophobia if you’re simultaneously worried about getting crushed or also having half the crack fall off? Ha!

I'd be terrified of sliding down. It seems uncomfortable and claustrophobic.

From a geological time perspective, it's already gone.

@billking8843 3 месяца назад

I found this by clicking on a 'sport climbing' button. Dozens of sport climbers probably need smelling salts after watching it.

As someone who hates ow and has only done a handful of .10/10+ ow, I salute you crushers. I can only imagine the heinous nonsense I’d be trying to get 6 feet up these cracks.

@EvanWisheropp 2 месяца назад

10+ OW is honestly real deal. I think that’s the peak of pure blue collar grovel.

@paulwolf3302 2 месяца назад

It looks like that pillar could just topple over any time. You can see the air on the other side of it and it's completely detached for at least 50 feet. Climb it while it's still there.

@EvanWisheropp 2 месяца назад

That's a good point

Is that first piece on pitch 2 a link cam? I tried to zoom but it was blurry. Oh a few seconds later we see it again. Looks like a link cam

@EvanWisheropp 2 месяца назад

Keen eye! Yes, indeed! The crack goes from .3 up to 10", so bumping the link cam was pretty awesome.

@sket179 3 месяца назад

2:50 and that's why we start cleaning from top down. 😅 Although here it would be impossible, or can you reach the top some other way?

@EvanWisheropp 3 месяца назад

I had really wanted to go in from the top, I did it once on a nearby route, but they closed the closest road. We ended up going ground-up on a line to the left, then rapped down this line. I think another hour of cleaning and it should sparkle ✨

Trying to figure out what’s going on at 2:14 Is he belaying with his left hand and hauling something small with his right hand? I can’t quite figure it out

@EvanWisheropp 2 месяца назад

Yep, You're exactly right. The right hand is hauling up a mini-haul bag with snacks, water, and jackets.
