Not So Thin Lizzy - V3 - Joshua Tree

Jon McCartie on Not So Thin Lizzy - V3. Joshua Tree, CA. Located in the Outback. Northwest of Hidden Valley Campground.

Original grade was v4, but it was definitely given for the shortie beta. Current consensus has it at v2/v3 based on the long throw at the beginning.

nice haircut

[officeclimber]

@d0novn What haircut? :P I definitely needed one, I'll agree. I don't usually take my hair length into consideration when shooting videos. ;)

[officeclimber]

it's soft. the current consensus is v3.

no heel on starting hold. just hands. one big move up left makes this prob V5.

To the guys saying if you skip certain moves its v5. Leave the eliminate problems in the gym! if you wanna climb a v5 then find a problem where the best solution is v5. JBMFP, Master Cylinder, The Cube, Methane, all super quality v5's. You could turn a v1 into something more difficult if you wanna make it hard on yourself.

@pdxmirage where's this socal bouldering database??

[pdxmirage]

@masonic3rd The cube is RAD!!! You are the only person i've ever heard say that it is not v5. If you check the socal bouldering data base all 17 ascents have it rated at a consensus v5 and friends of mine who climb hard also call it a v5.

@pdxmirage Methane at tram was my first "V5" and flashed it (got lucky). Master cylinder was fun! Not a V5 tho! Multiple attempts (under 11 trys) at JBMFP while injured. Its a sharp crimppy MoFo! Its a PAINFULL V5 and prob NEVER do it again!!! The Cube? Which Cube? If you are refering to the tram Cube then NO WAY is it a V5. That one is shit!!!

@masonic3rd i agree, i use right foot on the dish below start (instead of heel) and shoot up left with a strong cross with the right hand, its so much more fulfilling that way.
