Paradoxical Movement

Often associated with a pneumothorax, Paradoxical Movement should not be taken lightly. Manage the impending pump on this continually steep route until you pass the crux and are rewarded with a few bolts of vert climbing on fun patina.

This route climbs mostly larger holds with refreshing movement that sets itself apart from other routes I have done at The Crags. Also, compared to

Pneumothorax

, the crux is significantly easier and has multiple solutions. Because of this, I have a hard time grading it but think it is a solid 5.12.

See the topo. It is left of

Pneumothorax

.

Clip the first 4 bolts of

Pneumothorax

• 9 more. This may have permadraws by the Spring of 2022. You can skip a bolt mid-crux safely.
