Skater V4/V5

This is not as hard as Max’s (V6 or V7?) ‘Heart of Darkness’ (not only unfinished, but no-one seems to have done either of the last two moves) but it’s hard enough to keep people busy. And fun enough to keep people at it. And long enough to make it a real project!

I won’t go deep into the beta, but strap in ‘cause it’s Heel Hook City! I need 5 heel hooks. There’s maybe room for 6. The start is not exactly easy but pretty straightforward. As you get to the middle (the middle begins at the holds around the arete) you’ll be glad you brushed the holds! The middle of the middle can be hard unless you figure out the less-than straightforward sequence. If you are not pumped out yet the endgame (the last 3 holds) should do the job.

Good luck!

Sounds great, can’t wait to work that and work/tweak Heart of Darkness. I’ve been climbing a lot out here in Vegas, getting some inspiration, but looking forward to coming back

Speaking of Heart of Darkness, a tweak or two would sure help me out. I’m out of panda paste.

Max, I think Heart of Darkness has already seen some tweaks since you put it up. I want to say it’s harder, but maybe just different.

I have not tweaked Heart of Darkness. The last tweak I know about was done by Max when he and I were talking about it.

Ha is close to sending this H o’ D!!! Isn’t this post supposed to be about ‘Skater’?

On Heart of Darkness, the large red hold under the overhang is on now instead of the smaller brown hold above the overhang… and I think the finish used to be on the larger volcano sloper, but I’m not sure.

Regardless, I think it’s going to go soon. My money’s on Ha getting the FA, but I’m going to give it a shot too.

I’m gonna try out Ha’s beta today and see if it helps me—refering to Heart of Darkness.

Folks, we need a ‘Heart of Darkness’ post—so I’ve established one! This is supposed to be about ‘Skater’

...and the post was originaly a “Tips” post about all the crazy heelhooks. So the thread has gone somewhat off track.

“Skater’ sure is fun with all those heelhooks!!! Has anyone counted more than 6???

Heelhooks? I thought those were supposed to be campus moves :)

Campus moves? Is that what Max told you? He probably said they were one-handed campus moves!
