Windy City – V5 ↑
Description:
Had to rework my beta a few times for this one. A fun problem once it's been figured out but extremely frustrating until then. Technically possible to do with 1 pad but not recommended. Strangely beta intensive given how many options it greets you with.

Sick movement with a sketchy top

First V6 (according to book.) Can understnad why people grade as a V5, but being shorter this was the hardest, longest project ive had. (7/8 sessions.) Great sustained movement on this.

multi season project for me, or better yet.. nemesis. that big move going from the sidepull to the juggy crimp took me forever to stick. Then putting the whole thing together was another battle for me. Really only 1-2 hard moves but damn they were hard for me -
-
-
Flowy. Managed to static all the moves :)
-
2022-11-08Strangely beta intensive given how many options there are. Fun climb once figured out though
-
Great movement. Also first Guidebook 6!
-
Spent absolutely forever on this one and it felt great to finally get it as a birthday send. Don't want to touch this one again any time soon since the bottom holds always tweak my fingers. -

i hate this boulder problem lol. the holds are extremely unergonomic and tweaky. awkward moves. psyched that i never have to do this again lol. -
Did this at the end of the day, very flowy and had a lot of options for the beta. It would be easier for those with longer reach.

Was a beta intensive send for me. Spent a bit too long on this one. Felt good to get it
-
2021-11-27Managed a repeat send! Fun line :)
-
Used a right hand sidepull to skip some of the pockets.

Definitely a solid V6 for me, took way too many sessions to figure out the best working beta and took it down after I gave up at certain point. A line that requires extra explosive power and super gluey footwork to send. Classic!
-
-
great movement. felt like a solid 6 or I got fat. -

There are many more ways than one to climb this. I had some trouble reading it initially, but once you find your way and lay the power down, it will go like butter! Gave me a solid pump, I under estimated this one!

2020-12-11Fucking finally. Took me way to long to sort out my beta given so many options. -

Solid climb!

-
fun Halloween send with everyone in costumes today
-
2020-10-31Slightly slabby, slightly burly
-
Also thought this wasn’t a V6 as the guidebook says! But still super fun!
-
So many ways to do this. I used the vertical side pull just right of the crack. Fun movements! -
Great climb for those looking to break into the grade
-
Fun route, slippery feet. Don't get mixed up with walk the dog!
-
Damp pockets/slots made the finish a bit spooky. -
Pretty good. Wish the top-out was clean. 2018 guidebook line, straight up.

The left exit which in new guidebook is called windy city. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30I4Tv0pun8 -

Love the movement on this climb. Great pockets and a really fun big move with the flat sidepull.
-
-
Kinda gross, I'm not really a fan of little slots. Topout jug is deceiving. -
-
finally! 2nd go today. 3rd v6 of the day! -
So much trying over 2 seasons. Day flash 🤷♂️ - first bouldering sesh post covid lockdown -

Slot pockets were wet. I went high right foot with left hand lock off, then to right hand sidepull, then to the good left hand crimp up high..... I think this may not be the usual way.. fun though! vid eventually -
2017-08-07Started as the original description by FA Pete Cimasi from the "low ledge and move up and left to top". I assume this means start on the right of the two ledges. SDS. -
2017-07-30Sit start -
Great V4 send from the right. Looking forward to trying out the left side.
-
Nice and flowy
-
2017-02-19Sit start from the left -
-
Each guide has a different description of the start. Started right of seam and moved left to side pull and up the pockets. Left start is probably V5 with the tricky match on the crimp. Fun from either direction.

2016-11-05First V5

People seem to be sit starting at windy city and then climbing right into the Fred the Dog crack (which has the oldschool grade of V0 lol). Windy Cindy goes up and slightly left following the faint vertical seem, the holds are small and the top is hard if you don't see the good jug over the lip.

Cool problem, good warmup for the V6 beside it.

Located on The Railing Boulder. Fun warm-up. Sit start from left, kinda soft for the grade.
-
Sit start is knarly when damp
