I went out to check this wall in CCB a while ago lured in by the potential for a new project after the ocean destroyed Stealth Pants. The stealth pants line was not good, but I scoped out this new wall with some dope overhanging projects. Then I forgot about the wall for like 4 years. I went back with Patrick Spaceman. I think he wanted to film some gross turd lines, and he said something about pokemons, but I had secret plans... I knew that even a hardened turd slayer, a reckless survivor of the grossness of Prospect, would be unable to stomach the nastiness of uncensored Crystal Crescent lines. So we were definitely going to end up groping dope projects. I was like a young Machiavelli. We looked at the main area but it was pretty bad. The climbs were camouflaged by the hiking trail which looked pretty much the same.
Trying to find actual lines was like one of those optical illusions you have to stare at for 5 minutes till your eyes cross.
In contrast the project wall was super good. 3 lines. At the time, there was one realistic line using dope and sophisticated foot work and gross crimps. The end featured a big move to a bad sloper. We were both pretty close. But I was definately closer. I could have done it. It was bad conditions. I trained the day before. Molly ate my chalk.
There were 2 other lines that got labelled smizz projects. They are definitely doable though. By the way, Patrick Spaceman did the new line. I saw the video. It looks good. He says its V9, but I saw a top secret technical innovation so its probably 10+... He says bitcoins solve grade inflation, but I think its mostly 8 years of unrelenting grippin.
