Finally getting around to Part 2 of the Joe’s trip….
Thursday ended up being a pretty good day for me. We went up to the Garden of Eden area and I checked out Anatomy Act – a V7. The guide isn’t very clear as to what the problem is exactly but after talking with some other guys there I finally figured out it climbs up an arete. I almost flashed the thing. I fell off a sloper on the topout that I couldn’t quite hang on to right. Fortunately, I did the thing next try which is the fastest I’ve ever done a V7. It starts on 2 crimps without really any feet to speak of and a pretty big move right to a pocket. Then slap your left hand up on slopers a few times, get your foot up to the start holds, then another pretty big move with your right to a bad sloper. Adjust it and rock up to a nice rail and it’s pretty much over.
