Born Under Punches v8

Born Under Punches v8

3.5
(32)
Start low on two crimps in the seam and climb through slopers to right facing sidepulls, then back left to a tricky topout.

Touched this climb here and there over the past 5 or so years, and it always eluded me. Finally tried beta using the loose flake and I found a way! I thought the flake would break every attempt but it still stands. The climb might be V7, it might also be V8, but it took me longer than most so I’ll take the ocho.
