That being said, it is hard to deny that the most difficult indoor climbing in the country has been [...]

Normally I shy away from sport climbing news but James Litz tore up Ten Sleep Canyon, WY this summer and I thought this might escape the general news as it is probably not going to appear on 8A. Awesome to hear he is still in top form.

Both Kevin and Nalle put some effort into this one. It climbs a few intro moves of V6 to a huge dyno. This is probably V14 and an outstanding [...]
