Xavier's Roof V11

Amazing problem. This line is absolutely one of the best in Buttermilk country. Cool holds, great moves, hard, aesthetic, isolated from the masses; it's the one to do. Shorter climbers find the last move a bit easier as they are able to static the final right hand move. Taller climbers (or weaker?) have to pop which is very committing and off balance from a totally awkward position. Originally it was thought to be 8A+ (V12) when Tony Lamiche first did it with difficulty (he went left hand! Sick!) Consensus is settling around 8A now though that the beta has been sussed. Many 8a.nu members are still holding out for the 8A+ grade!!! lol, who cares... Fun line, great setting. Filmed by Siemay Lee. Sponsors: Metolius Climbing, Evolv shoes, Gramicci

Did anybody see the shakeweight episode of South Park? This is the female voice that should accompany a fleshlight in a South Park episode.

It's amazing to me to watch the shape, size, and try to gauge the strength of people who climbing really hard. You can never tell who's the V11 or who's the V3 climber. Nice job dude, that looks hard!!

nice top out! I think I would need a few more crash pads to get a warm and fuzz before I even considered that-

@enefebmerabril I think is the last move that separates a V9 from a V11
