I always thought that Gung Ho was harder than Tissue Tiger.

Thanks, Wes!

That's been my nemesis for years so it feels good to get that tiger off my back.

Jared - I always heard that Gung Ho was the hardest on the wall too but I think some people think the opposite. It all comes down to style, I think.

It's funny - that is the nemesis route for my exbf and a year ago, he got to the anchors and kept saying to the route, "I defeated you. I did you. [whatever]" He reached down with one hand and couldn't grip the rope. So he tried with the other hand and couldn't grip. The poor guy had to take the fall and miss the send.

Anyway, CONGRATS ARTSAY!!!

congrats miss artsay! climbing wall paying off? how'd it feel on-route?

Gung ho - one hang on flash attempt - sent 30 minutes later.
Reliquary - 5-6 go, went pretty quick once I figured out how to get into the upper kneebar.
Tissue like 12+ attemts and counting.

Gung ho and Reliquary have way better rests.

Great send for sure.

It felt damn hard. I about fell off at the crimp ledge under the India hold.

And Meadows...
I let out an, "I got you, BITCH!" after grabbing the jugs up top too. I think that route is a nemesis for a lot of folks.

Tissue Tiger - 2nd attempt (one hang on the first go)
Gung Ho - 5 or 6 attempts (kept screwing up the sequence at the top)

Of course this was many years ago when I was climbing stronger then now. I haven't been on either of them in several years.

Anyway, nice send Artsay! Keep it up!

Tissue Tiger was my first 12. It was a break-thru send for me. For sure the easiest one on the wall!
Nice send Artsay!

Hell yeah!! Michelle was kicking some serious ass yesterday-- along with Tissue Tiger, she ticked off Left Turret and All Things Considered. Way to go, lady!

Good job hot momma!
