I did a V12 today. I'd like to end this post here, but I just can't. I know that some of you would stop being my friend if I left it at that, so I'll clarify. I've been climbing at Swan Falls about 10 times so far, and each time I've liked it. There really is some good stuff, but the guide book is soooo bad. Well, I finally figured out where everything is according to the book and started finding some projects. I'll do this v6...flash. I'll do this v9...flash. I'll do this v12...twelve...TWELVE...2 falls then I got it. Here's how I figure it...this stuff really is the grade it says, and I really am that strong. I think I might be superman while in Boise...maybe it's something in the air. OR...the grading system here is rediculous. Probably the latter.
The "12" I did was really cool though. It's called the 7 Wraths of God...and it's super close to Iron Man Traverse in movement but on tiny crimps and bad feet the whole way. Matt, I think that when you join me for the Joe's trip you should fly here then drive with me to Utah so you can climb here first. You too can be a V12 climber. Plus, I need someone to confirm my rating out here.
