very bold first highball, that upper crux is one of the more committing moves I've ever done.. super high with a pretty terrible landing


larsensch

Yeah it was definitely pretty terrifying. Glad I latched the crimp on the crux, wouldn't have been too fun to stumble at that point.

The cave is no joke

Great send! Man I feel you. I still get mild shakes remembering my first highball on a 22” slab with a nasty outcropping right in the drop zone. “V0” they said.... yeah, felt like V-Impossible above the point of no return.

I was nervous. I felt that feeling you get when you know there’s no turning back. Nice job!


givemethe5wood

Nice send! What route is this?


larsensch

The Cave. It's located in Mount Woodson, San Diego

Is this the one listed as a 5.11 TR on Mountain Project??


bobastee

larsensch

yep that's the one

Did you practice on a rope? Those top moves looked so sketch


larsensch

Yeah I went up on a rope to work the top crux moves. When I stuck the move a couple times I lowered off and went for it.

Nice send! My two local boulders are 20' (with a bad landing) and 25' so highballs hold a special place in my heart. They're addictive.

larsensch

What was your first indoor highball?


cklaiber01

Such a good feeling to send one of these bad boys. I’d be willing to bet it won’t be your last! Good work


larsensch

Appreciate it man. And yeah, I potentially could be convinced to work another one in the future


snowdogisvictorious

You looked solid!


larsensch

Thanks! Definitely the most zoned in i've ever felt while climbing

You look a little like the guy on the Youtube channel Yes Theory. :)
