In 2005, Chris Sharma sent Witness the Fitness in a humid Arkansas cave on soft sand stone. Around the same year, Ghislain Losier sent Weakling V9 in humid swamps of West Pennant. Since then, the problems shared similar fates. Both problems had holds break in the opening crux. They even look the same!
Witness the fitness broke many more times and is now felt to be impossible. Fortunately, Weakling is still a compelling line from the second hold. As for the low start... the name weakling is ironic - Zig has the strongest fingers to every touch NS granite and it was orginally V9. The original start crimp is completely gone. I've run the numbers, and if Daniel woods comes to town, he might snag a reapeat.
