Nice to see Brian sending that. I TR’d Love Muscle, which is the 12+ left variation, back around 1988. I also belayed AL DIAMOND when he sent Cybernetic, and I worked on it myself a bit back then too [on lead]. It is interesting to see Brian’s sequences. I remember that we used a cheatstone to reach the pinky scum at the start. I belayed Johnny Woodward on Love Muscle, around 1989 or so- he onsighted it and said we should do the start without the cheatstone. Also, Brian’s sequence in the boulder start seems different than the one we used. And he finishes without doing the conversion on the crux, seemingly. NICE.

That would be a pretty sweet route to have footage of!

Too bad there is no video of Will Stanhope’s send on the Monkey.

Something tells me you might be vomiting in the near future…just a guess.

“Real” climbers need to improve on their spraying skills.

Nice, good to see some real climbing on this site. I had to turn the sound off on that one, which band is that? They suck, and I usually love heavy metal!
