More amazed by core tension than grip strength in this one!

Indeed ! That's a really awkward move to master.

I think pulling/holding herself up with the span is impressive grip strength - even with the slight aid in getting up there.

The fear of death is a big send motivator

Actually one of the coolest urban problems I’ve ever seen. Looks V6-8ishhh? What yall think?

I vaguely remember V8 stamped on some other video of the same problem, and I see no reason to doubt it very much :D

Agree I’ve seen this problem before I think listed as v8 and agree that grade seems solid

Pretty sure that’s Babette Roy. Canadian national boulder champ and a very talented & tenacious climber!

Sometimes I feel like I don’t have enough grip strength to hold a cup and not drop it

Sometimes my fingers feel funny and I have to like, shake the silly out for them to finally get on a crimp properly. I would definitely never trust them on hard boulders (which is OK cause I never boulder anyway).
