Definitely! I place stoppers much less than I used to, but the tower normally takes them really well. I think most stoppers are rated to fewer KN when placed "sideways" across the other axis, but generally seem just as bomber as long as the placement is sinker.
Thanks! Yeah I’ve done El Mat a handful of times. They are really different styles, as Direct SW is more vertical and on your hands/fingers, where as El Mat is a mega calf pumper. Both are similarly hard, but Direct SW is a bit harder.
One of my fave pitches anywhere! If only it was 300 ft of that
You mean 3000ft?
what a sweet line!
One of my favorites at the Tower, thats for sure! Although, I'm a sucker for finger cracks!
Very nice lead! Just curious..have you ever tried using the stoppers sideways, for a straight taper?

Strong work man. Wondering if you did el mat while you were there and how you felt this pitch compared to it in terms of difficulty.
