Goodbye Horses

, but at the headwall, stay left past three bolts on thin, continuous terrain. Climb a power crux at bolt 8 after the rest, make a hard clip, and solve a technical and redpoint crux on the thin, cryptic traverse then layback up the leaning "5.10 corner" past bolt 10. Finish right to shared anchors with

6H4D

.

This ascends excellent rock on the headwall and has uncertain moves in a wild position. It is a very sustained and involved pitch for Boulder Canyon...not the usual V8 to a ledge to 5.11 crapola. Shade after 2 p.m.

Extendo slings and long draws are helpful in spots for rope management and ease of clipping. I am not sure on the grade, but this felt harder than

Mordred

and maybe as hard as

The Agony and the Ecstasy

at Security Risk—the cruxes on this one are easier, but they are also at bolts 8 and 9 instead of right off the deck.

"Would you climb me? I'd climb me. I'd climb me hard. I'd climb me so hard."

Clip the first 7 bolts of
