Hi Jaime. Just want to thank you for your site, it is a great source of info and motivation for me (even if I’m miles away in New Zealand) After reading this post I think you would love Castle Hill, NZ’s answer to HP40. Keep up the great work bro.

Chosscrush .. do you have any plans for a trip this spring?? I’m looking but haven’t settled on an area yet. Joe’s? Hueco? Southern Sandstone?? Even Chosslorado are possibilities.

I guess starting three moves in probably does make it V9. HA!

Genetic is completely clean. Granted its not amazing, but I’m pretty sure it has seen attempts by many strong climbers, including Paul.

definitely more psyched on an eventual hp40 trip than hueco.

So what’s the deal with Genetic? It sure doesn’t look like anyone ever tries the thing based on all the moss on the rock compared with insane amounts of chalk on everything else.

Thanks Jamie, but some of that vision credit goes to John Barr. I was just a kid, John Barr was an expert slab climber that I’ve seen levitate on a number of occasions. He told me that one day there will be a line there. I just figured out the levitation trick (still on lockdown!).

btw – No tranquility is v9
