Aww Paul, if only you hugged my feet half as well. You don't smear very well either :twisted:

Congrats on Headstone Surfer! Great send!

Paul, it's the top of Rock Wars. Haven't you ever climbed past the 5.9 anchors on that thing? ;) (Careful, there are spinners up top!)

Jiri's about 6 feet from the top anchors in that pic having just finished the upper layback section, which is kind of hidden in the shadow. you can just make out the anchors above him right next to the line of the shadow.

Thanks Yasmeen.
The anticipation was worse than the actual climbing i think. I was scared and shaking on the ground looking up at the top overhanging section while i was racking up, even though i think the middle section was actually the crux in retrospect. By the time i realized i was past the crux I was looking at the anchors. It's a great route.
