2021 Apparatus 8C Boulder | worked 19th Jan 2021
First ascent.

When I established this line in January 2021, I wasn’t grading first ascents. I later slapped V14 on it without much thought, but now that I’m reflecting on it I’m pretty certain it’s harder. It’s the most difficult boulder I’ve climbed in NC by a long shot and it fits my style really well. This was my main focus for a month and a half long trip and I finished it up on the very last day, with perfect conditions. I’m confident that V15 is more appropriate compared to everything I’ve climbed before and after it. [1]
