When I asked Ghislain for some beta tips on his unrepeated nightmare Hourglass V11 he responded with "I don't remember, but I'll never forget the pain." Gulp. I didn't think Hourglass would ever see a repeat. The beta is alien hieroglyphics, the moves are consistently hard, and it's so painful I feel like I needed a safe word. Then we broke it. An extra grade of difficulty is just what this climb needed... Gulp.Somebody call Morpheus, we found the one. The second coming of Ghislain. Silky smooth, Cirque du Soleil flexible, and carbon nanotubes for finger tendons. Luckily Guillaume is heading back to Font soon, because Nova Scotia is running out of sufficiently challenging rock climbs.
