The Tavalin Shaft is v9. The move to get from Torpedo to Honeycomb seems like the hardest move on that section of roof.
Per Boz and Jenkins, reversing Honeycomb is actually easier than doing the problem.

All that being said, Perpetual Motion is rediculously long, sustained and involved. I believe the only harder variation left is climbing Perpetual Motion but taking the line of Future Spray instead of Torpedo.

Too bad the roof is such a chosspile or there might be more traffic/repeats of the hardest few problems.

I’m not sure what got you so riled, johnathan.. I don’t know you and you obviously don’t know me… Though Jamie and I don’t see eye to eye on a few topics, I’m entitled to my opinions, as are you.

I was referring to a slight coloration when it comes to describing gill as having basically invented modern bouldering.
Freaks.. There’s a line worth some stars.
And as far as respect goes… Well,
ahh, fuck it.

Chris, I don’t think Jaime wrote that Gill was the first to go bouldering….Also maybe you shouldn’t climb in such obscure areas and such dumpy little lines and your problems would get the repect you desire.
Great article emerson, nail. hit. head.
didn’t litz climb all Automator, Freaks, nuthing but sunshine frst? Maybe you should go do those……

Oh, one more thing: folks were bouldering many years before Gill was born.. Though no one can discount his contribution to American bouldering.
