Arguably the MEGA line in the cave. Enjoyable progression of movement, starting with a dyno-esque move to a jug, through the steady, controlled movement of Ali Bubba, to the core-intensive, power driven 40 thieves. Inadvertently have spent more days on this than any other line ever, having hidden out in this roof during many a rainy or snowy day. Did not like 40 thieves til I locked down the toe hook beta a couple days before the send, however that seemed to unlock the entire line as a possibility. Day before the send it condensed like milk, cool temps and a strong wind overnight and decided to gamble a great weather day in the roof. Surprisingly pleasant underneath here on a sunny day. Murdered my left pinky while warming up. After a quick fumble as my 1st attempt from the ground on send day, fired it next go from the start. Didn't think I had the power endurance for a line like this. Not V12 (David and Goliath felt harder, this may be a notch above Spinal). Think this is the 4th? (Southward, Barth and Grupper?).

Love a good enduro line, classic movement all the way to the finish. I rested a long time in the kneebar for this one ;)
