My skin was torn off my fingertips just watching this, this guy could commit murder, touch everything in the room without gloves and still walk away a free man, as there cant be much fingerprints from someone who just crimped those holds he did...
@ixGeminixi: becuase it's so short. to do V12 after 50 feet of hard climbing requires something close to V14 strength, so longer routes of the same grade have easier cruxes.... route grades take length and how sustained a climb is into consideration. There are 5.13s in Maple Canyon that don't have any moves harder than V3/4... it's just that it's 100 feet of V3/4 with little rest.
This problem is perfect, and insanely hard, the two starting crimps are so ridiculous it's said to be V9 to even pull on, i've felt them, and I agree.
It is hard to convert bouldering grades to roped grades, and I have seen different charts list different things (I've seen 5.10a being anywhere from V0 to V3). And at indoor gyms a lot of times V0 and V1 kind of stretch down to make bouldering more accessible to weaker climbers. But I would say that seeing as 5.15b and V16 are the current limits to roped climbs and bouldering, they are probably close in difficulty. But I could be wrong.
This is a boulder problem. It really isn't that high - the only reason they bolted it is because the landing is so terrible. Amazing send KJ. You are a huge inspiration.
theres a video of another guy trying this and he misses the pad and breaks his leg. this is insane . i have seen this climb and it is like looking at a blank slab. crazy shittt
I had the good fortune of actually attempting this route/problem last thursday. I live in Georgia, and i had the chance to make a trip to new england. I boulder V9, but i tried this problem anyways. Stuck the first move, then failed with foot placement. This is a truly aazing place and piece of nature's work. To all who have made Rumney what it is, ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you fo showing the holds, it looks intense

One of my favorite climbers! Is "The Fly" sort of a "rite of passage" for professional climbers?

How is this 5.14d yet V14?
5.14d is usually equivalent to V11-V12 on comparison charts?

Love the editing, especially the close ups on the holds. Had seen this problem climbed before but seeing the size of some of the holds is great :)
Would like to see the same thing in other climbing videos.
