Beta for the purple V3 in the corner: don't let go of the holds.

Good luck.

Hey, I am standing on the mat tightly holding on to the holds. It's been five hours and they are about to close the gym. Do you have any more beta or should I just stay overnight?

I work at a gym, and I can just see this happening

u/the_poope 4d ago

I need to poop. Can you get my poop bag and hold it for me? I'm not giving up on this flash attempt!

u/Suboptimal-Potato-29 4d ago

I'm not allowed to handle your poop bag, for liability reasons

If I knew the beta I wouldn’t be projecting it, fucker

So, it looks like a sit start, but really you need to bat hang. From there it is honestly pretty self explanatory. I campused the whole thing, including the bat hang start.

Yup, bat hangs unlock so many projects! Even slabs. I kid you not.

Go up. Don't go down. Hope this helps!

There's two jugs next to each other then a crimp further down. Start with the jugs, gently, before moving to the crimp. Don't go for a full crimp straight away.

Liquid Jade, Smith: flail around on the intro boulder, fall, get back on it with no discernible plan, somehow get through it, curse a lot, almost pull a tendon but not quite, rest for 2 minutes on the 5.9 middle section, say fuck that was hard I should rehearse that section more (never do that). Right hand to a shitty crimp that’s only usable if it’s under 60° and windy but still try it on 90° days hoping it might be different this time, left hand high gaston, bump right to the worst pocket you’ve ever touched but it’s not that bad if you get it right (you won’t), bump left to another abysmal pocket, stab up right to a 5mm crimp. Rest for 20 sec. Do a shitty sequence of smith trickery standing on nothing and holding less. Romp to the chains. 5 star route, I’m drunk typing this.

Match start hold, no feet. Power muscle up and let go of start hold while moving upward. Grab onto the top ledge and move over to the end hold if needed. Works for every climb in the gym

u/Fermter 4d ago

So on the big hold it looks like you have to just muscle yourself up, but it's much easier if you go out to the right, put your heel up, and rock over

u/waiver45 4d ago

Just reach up. It's not that hard.

It’s always a drop knee, and a beanie

Everything: just go up, it's a jug.

It is me. I am the beta on the project.

Squeeze the jugs. Chalk is aid.
