Good footwork and an open grip make this

boulder. It really does look like jaws.
Earlier this day, on the back side of this boulder, Tommy Caldwell
did a first ascent of line he has
been working on for 4 years. Due to the fact that Tommy sent a V9
with relative ease the same day, it
must have been really hard. |
