Sword of Damocles v9
Sick roof crack. Sit start on finger locks and the arête, pull on more wicked finger locks and the arête to some thin hands at the lip. Or climb the roof as a compression line without using the crack at about the same grade, I think.

DATE
First v9 flash on such a crazy day. Came to scope this out from south lake and it was baking in the sun. Diverted to Castle Peak instead and climbed there all day. Drove back to South Lake only to realize I lost my bag. So I drove back up to Donner Summit and rolled up to find out this is where everyone watches July 4th fireworks. Didn't find my bag, but watched the fireworks then flashed this with like 50 people around. Probably an 8 but taking the first 9 flash for the effort 😅
