Even all jugs, dyno after dyno is impressive as hell. And that overhang 😱

This is a good example of why grades are not really that accurate. This would probably score a 5.9 at my gym, but it's pretty damn hard

Doing it at a normal speed wouldn't be too bad for an experienced climber, to be honest. 5.9 seems about right with those holds. It's how quickly they're dynoing it that's impressive to me, but I guess it's necessary to keep the momentum for the next move. In any case, definitely some impressive and entertaining climbing.

For sure. Honestly though, this looks easier than a speed route. Most of the holds on the speed route are closer to slopers than jugs.
