Mid 🥱 I would like to preface this by saying, yes, this is a 5 star bloc, yes its one of the best 12s in the country, I know. But my god is this thing oversucked. I feel like calling this the best 12 in the country is like saying Drake is your favorite rapper 💀 Everyone and their grandma has this same take and its just so stale. The face is incredibly beautiful, the rock is great, but on the other hand the movement is meh, plus there are two starts and half the population can't agree which is more obvious.. Every hold is ridiculously polished, and the hold set is unremarkable. Specifically the movement is the dagger for me because, despite the sorta cool shoulder / roll out section, it lacks that ultra-dope X factor move that could really make it unique. I loved climbing Atlas because it felt fucking SICK to climb! Wet Dream just feels like a cool rock climb. It's like a 10/10 with no personality 😂 Both boulders are beautiful, but at the end of the day we are climbing these rocks not just looking at them. Having said all that, for sure still one of the best 12's, just not the best.. I'll die on this hill so if you got beef please hit my line 🥩
