A Study in Pink

Route Name: Study in Pink
Grade: V3
Moves Incorporated: Lay back, heel hook, bicycle, 
Types of Holds: Pinches, Slopers, Crimps, Slopey Crimps

I used an app on my phone to highlight the holds I used. Unfortunately, it's not great quality, but it does give you a good idea of where the holds are. Holds from bottom to top: foot chip, slightly positive pinch, sloper, foot chip, crimp, crimp, slopey crimp, slopey pinch, top. 

See if you can figure out the beta from the picture.




A lot of people have said they really liked this route/a single person has told me that a lot of people really like this route. I do like it a lot. It's very smooth. It's mildly challenging for me, but it's not a struggle fest. Its fun and I'm pretty proud of it. If you've seen the other two routes that I posted on here, you'll see that they are pretty similar at least for the start. I've noticed a lot of people end up uneven for certain types of moves, so I put heel hooks and laybacks at the start of each route to even them out. Admittedly, the rest of the route is kind of laddery, but there's a bit of weight shifting going on as well as some holds a bit more challenging than the rungs of a ladder. 

So here's the video. I'll try to do the rest of the videos with better quality. 



Thoughts, beta breaking technique, etc. Comment below. 

Climb on! Also Set on (not nearly as catchy)!
