lmao i meannnn v3? mayybbeee if you’re taller or have the beta dialed, initially it felt around v4/5, really 1.5 hard moves to a jug mid wall to a jug top out. kinda fun for what it is 🫡 gonna give it +V4/-V5 for the lock off/crimp strength and height dependencies also video got cut off, started hands matched on rail, left foot flagged out against rock.
