Climbing on the route fresh and having the opportunity to think over the route's difficulty, in addition to the unfortunate new discovery of a knee bar mid-crux has lead me to believe that 14c is a more accurate suggestion. Colorado, and certainly Rifle, have a reputation for stiff grades that I feel I should uphold. Like I've mentioned previously, I think that the best thing we can do with grades is take them lightly, remain honest and strive to keep consistency within an area. To me, 'Kryptonite' remains the standard for 14d on the Western Slope and as much as I would have liked it to, Shadowboxing can not rival it's difficulty. [1]

Historic. Savage. Almost as hard as Necessary [Evil]. [1]

A defining moment in my climbing. Very emotional, a huge step forward. Much harder than anything else I've done.

Fought with every ounce in my body... a feeling I will never forget! Absolutely incredible route with no place to hide. Resistant like hell. So freaking excited about this send! Used one knee bar in the bottom pitch, direct at the finish like Adam.

The direct finish to Nu World that I've dreamt about for years! After coming back from Spain I starting working hard on this, training for it, and deciphering the intricate beta in the upper two thirds. I was really unsure if I'd have a good shot before leaving town again but in some of the best shape of my life, with a huge and memorable fight in the second half, I climbed it! Very resistant long boulder problem to start, next is a fins style vertical crux, and finally seven bolts of all-out-pumpy and technical climbing with no good rest to the finish. I used one right knee to clip the second bolt. Without question, for my height, and my methods, this route is one of my hardest. It was a total joy to learn this route and climb it. Grateful! [1]

Very cool to revisit this crag after 12 years! TC [Tommy Caldwell] is forever a massive inspiration for me - I didn't realize how important it would feel to climb on this route. Went fully A Muerte after getting through the bottom crux for the first time. On the grade, for me personally, the route does not compare to the 9b I have done or tried - that being said it is still one of the hardest in Colorado for sure.

A humbling test of perseverance for me. First a knee injury back in September on our first day here, and then just as I was recovering, wet holds and record breaking rain over and over for 5 weeks. We extended our trip twice. Fought hard to stay ready mentally and physically for the right moment. Honestly can't believe it all worked out! One of the best, most demanding and scariest sport routes I have climbed. Easily 9b for me, quite obviously harder than the other 9a+ here... But I'll keep it a sandbag out of respect for Ceuse. [1]
