This past tuesday was an amazing 70 degrees, and I just had to get outside! I had my eyes set on Rock Cheetah v12+ along with the traverse project into it. I came very close to sending Rock Cheetah but could not quite snag the opening crux move, a big left hand gaston move to a sharp crimp. By the time I had figured out some good beta my fingers were too sore from working the top moves as I had no spotters and was holding on tighter than usual to make sure I hit the small landing zone below me. I was however able to snag the First Ascent of the traverse project and dubbed it "Death Wish" v10. I am very excited to go back with fresh hands and hopefully some more pads and spotters next time to give Rock Cheetah a send go.

Awesome climb Alex, thanks for posting the video. I live about a mile from the Three Sisters and have to pretty good size older Metolius pads, your more than welcome to borrow 'em if you need them.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I may take you up on that, I really would like to head back and give Rock Cheetah some more burns
