I remember this one, and it's a good one! If I remember right, he starts out his project with one girlfriend and finishes it up with a new one. Maybe a touch stressful? Anyway, worth seeing..

I had never seen that one before thanks for posting. Gripping for sure especially after that first ripper Outta nowhere. That first wire didn't look like it would hold anything at all but he was pulling on it pretty good moving around up above it so who knows... probably best not to fall. Looked hard

Yeah, that first piece 30 feet up? Jeez. Screamer on it for sure. That guy's a master technician. I'd like to know the 'Merican rating, too. I'm thinking 12 sumthin. So damn beautiful. Definitely one of the best looking trad pitches anywhere.

It's unnerving when there's time to think, "when will they stop falling?"

I used to think less of headpointing. Then I saw what George Ullrich and Mason Earl did at The Needles. Pulp Friction, 5.12+R. The route climbs straight up from where the famous Airy Interlude traverse goes across right. It's a great line which has been studied by climbers for years. The headpoint style allowed them to do the thing without placing bolts. Given the route's location this is a win/win. And it's easy to set up a TR if you value your life...

Thanks for showing us that.
Definitely steep.
Editing was top notch.
One of the best long falls ever.
