It is still a mystery to me how people could have missed such perfect line. Maybe nobody believed in the crazy knee drops you have to do, or maybe there was just too much other climbing nearby. Obscurus Sanctus is without doubt among the very best climbs I have ever done. Simply a world class boulder problem!

There is one thing I don’t talk about in the VIDEO: the grade. Is it 8b+? Or is it only 8b? Honestly, it’s hard to say. Relative to all the other problems on the “Tour Boulder” (which go up to 8a+) it would have to be 8b+, because it is much harder than everything else. Physically, it doesn’t feel quite this hard, but the grading needs to be consistent within the area, right? In the end, I was just happy I was able to do it, despite the terrible conditions. Whatever the grade may be…
