I know the guy in the video, a young kid that worked at nomad a while back. Was like 19 at the time. Dude ran top rope laps on it like every trip out, so when he went for the send kinda zoned out and went into lieback mode.
Not the brightest bulb on the tree, but he's nice.

Always seemed classic 11a. That fall was ridiculous and very scary. Place gear people! The ground is hard.

Being really short and not very flexible I always thought the beginning before I can get tips in was the hardest part. Once I can get tips in these fingers are not going to let go. For me, not quite as hard as Hot Rocks so 11a sounds good. But then I find it harder than Left Ski Track because of the length of the reach required on that route at the crux.
