Ty Landman in HP40

Posted on 19. Jan, 2012 by in News

In a bit a news that would have probably gone unreported, Ty Landman has made the first flash ascent of the classic V11 in HP40 God Module. God Module is a near perfect overhang of sandstone that is very atypical for the south. The first move is the crux, and it involves a very difficult pull on, followed by a hard move to a good edge. Three powerful moves lead to a rounded finish jug. An impressive feat for sure. The problem still awaits a first female ascent.

Here Daniel Woods demonstrates a proper ascent, in the rain no less:

    Impressive, and good to hear some news about Ty. Is there anywhere we can keep ourselves updated on his exploits, or is he staying completely under the radar?

    Ty just sent me a text letting me know how psyched he was on the South.

    Nice work Ty! While the problem is some what straight forward, that is a VERY impressive flash non the less. Good to see Ty is still out psyched and climbing hard
