Let me drop some knowledge on the younger generation...... I was at Yoyo Jiminy and some young Heuco guys who climb double digits complained about how hard the opening move is on Koma's roof and complained some more than said the v8 was a v6, but the 10 was at least an 11. Look, I think Koma's roof is really the king line in the park, the hardest single move in the park, and for sure, not a v10. That being said, remember, this line was established before v14 even existed. V12 was the highest grade in the 70's and 80's established in 1975 by Jim Holloway. V14 was not established until Jan. 1996. So Bro... how can some no-name, who climbed during the Yuki era at the time, in central park in the 1980's, claim anything harder than a 10? Ain't going to happen. And the point being....... Wood's has climbed other Jim Holloway v12s too (Maybe even Jim's first, meathook). Hence, these pro dudes have chased history, made history, and know WTH they are talking about so to think otherwise is foolish and for sure all of you don't have the resume to question Woods period. I'm sure Woods is referencing Koma's Roof.
Thats actually not the v12. Its the easier v8 start to komas roof which is a v10 that starts matched on the undercling. Starting with one hand out of the roof on that sloper drops the grade to v8. The v12 starts more to the left underneath the prow with the right hand on the big undercling that he has his left hand on and a left hand over further on an jndercling crimp
great climbing guys no offense conor, its v7 and that right foot hold is off! the only way to gain the face is through the toe hook. the end was good after he released the off foot hold and went straight to the top. all the hold in between are off! youre doing v5 at best your video as well conor lots of off holds
It's koma's roof stand start (V8)🤙🏽
