2nd Ascent Of Ambrosia By Alex Honnold

Posted February 17, 2010 at 10:12 pm · Comments { 3 } ·

Alex Honnold has nabbed the 2nd ascent of Kevin Jorgeson’s Buttermilks uber-highball Ambrosia.  Honnold figured out a slightly easier sequence for the 45+ foot tall line on the Grandpa Peabody boulder which he felt was in the V11 range.  In recent weeks Honnold has also done several other Buttermilks classics including The Mandala (V12) and Evilution Direct (V11).  Check out the Bishop Bouldering Blog for more.  Thanks to Christopher for the tip!
